The Jolly Peasant (1929)
Werner Krauss stars as The Jolly Peasant in this not-always-jolly confection. For the sake of his son, an aspiring priest, Krauss goes heavily into debt to finance the boy's evangelical education. But the son changes his mind and decides to become a doctor, breaking his old dad's heart. Metamorphosing into an impossible snob, the son doesn't even bother to invite his father to his high-society wedding. It is the boy's new bride, of peasant stock herself, who brings the young snot to his senses and arranges a reunion between father and son. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
