The Working Man

Miffed when he overhears his cocky nephew (Hardie Albright) assert that he could better guide the family shoe manufacturing concern, annoyed CEO John Reeves (George Arliss) storms off on vacation. A chance encounter with a late rival’s frivolous kids (Bette Davis, Theodore Newton)--who have no idea who he is and have let their father’s business fall apart--leads John to wheedle his way into running their operations and impart lessons to all three young people, in this charming pre-Code farce. 77 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
