Set during the Civil War, Union Major Lex Kearny (Cooper) gets a dishonorable discharge related to cowardice in battle. This disrupts his life in a mix of ways, especially when his family feels shame.Read More »
synopsis
It is 1912, and George Apley (Ronald Colman) is a stuffy, self-satisfied member of Boston’s upper class, confident of the superiority of his hometown and his family. He is fond of quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson at every opportunity. For 18 years, he has hosted Thanksgiving dinners at his home, but the dinner that opens the film marks an irrevocable change. His comfortable, predictable world is overturned when he learns, to his horror, that both his son and his daughter have fallen in love with non-Bostonians instead of with the partners he has arranged. Son John, always intended for his cousin Agnes, a shy girl who adores him, has fallen for Myrtle, the daughter of a successful manufacturer who lives in Worcester. Daughter Eleanor is in love with Howard Boulder, a lecturer at Harvard whom George causes to lose his job.
Will George learn his lessons and become a better person?Read More »
