Synopsis of Helyet az Oregeknek

Helyet az Oregknek (Room for the Aged) is a touching vehicle for jowly Hungarian character actor Szoke Szakall. The star is cast as elderly store-owner Uncle Polgar, who is invited to move in with the family of his nouveau riche son. He feels rather uncomfortable in his posh new surroundings and is further distressed by the fact that his other son seems destined to be a prodigal failure. When both sons get mixed up in a financial swindle, Uncle Polgar quietly bails them out, revealing that he's got more basic "smarts" than the two of them put together. Chased out of Hungary by the Nazis, Szoke Szakall later pitched camp in Hollywood, where he gained a whole new fan following as S. Z. "Cuddles" Sakall. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
