This wonderful 1938 film depicts the basic differences between upper and lower class families when the wealthy Robert Young falls deeply in love with his secretary, Ruth Hussey. Hussey speaks and acts as if she is upper class. Yet, she is devoted to her family and will not wed the Young character until he gets to know her family better.
She may not have come from a rich family, but she sure came from a family with close ties building a foundation of love.
Lew Ayres steals the film as the nephew who came to live with the family at the age of 14. He certainly shows extreme socialist views as he goes from one job to another. Lana Turner,as Hussey's sister, is great as the sister longing for a better life.
With it all, people are people and love shall ultimately conquer all-even when there are great economic differences among the people.
