Really creaky, static, drawing room drama in which errant son Johnny Mills will not mend his ways - until daddy (Lyn Harding) whips him into shape. Really.
Amazing that such a lumpy thing could be made the same time as Vorhaus, Hitch and Powell were doing such zippy stuff in the UK - not to mention how Hollywood looked in comparison - nor how pale this looks against the late German silent period. Johnny I'm afraid acquits himself no better than anyone else, and there's not a familiar name behind the camera either.
