Comment
A wealthy business (George Arliss) man returns from a long trip he is ignored by his family (Mary Astor, Evalyn Knapp) so pretends to have lost all his money to see how they would respond. This is an entertaining comedy that revolves arounf the performance of George Arliss with good support from mary Astor as his wife and Evalyn Knapp as his daughter. This is a light weight but entertaining film.
