I didn't except much of a movie directed by Louis King and I was greatly surprised, it's like an old melo from the silent era and there was a first version in 1927 with Emil Jannings. Akim Tamiroff takes up his part wonderfully with lot of emotion (though I find it surprising that a tough cashier doesn't go to the police after what happened to him). But the father's progression is very touching and unforgettable. If the first version seems lost, yes you may find an unrestored print on the web. Don't forget this movie, see it.
