Remake of Sweepings (1933), a sentimental business drama where a man spends his whole life building up a department store he hopes his sons will take over, except they're not interested. It's a good unspectacular drama with a few short-cuts. Good one for character actor Edward Ellis, who has to fill the shoes of Lionel Barrymore, who did the original. He does fine. Neither better nor worse than the '33 adaptation.
