The Younger Generation

The Younger Generation centers on a premise that unfolds like this: Soap-opera about a social-climbing Jewish man and his old-world parents who are heartbroken by his rejection of them. Young Morris Goldfish follows his immigrant father into business. His ruthless business practices cause him to become a big success, and he moves the family to Park Avenue. They go, but were happier back on the East Side. Morris is ashamed of this parents and his humble origins, but learns in the end that there is more to life than money.

Rather than rushing, the film lets tension build naturally, trusting the audience to keep up. The tagline — "See what riches did to a son and poverty to a daughter. Learn what parents are forced to endure from their children!" — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.

The Younger Generation is anchored by Jean Hersholt, Lina Basquette, Ricardo Cortez, and Rex Lease, working under the direction of Frank Capra. Casting is half the battle, and this ensemble pulls its weight.

The script comes from Sonya Levien, whose writing keeps the dialogue sharp. You can trace the full credits and filmographies on IMDb and TMDB.
