Solid if unremarkable family drama, 16 September 2003
5/10
Author: John Seal from Oakland CA

This well acted MGM drama about two boys struggling to adapt to a new father is relatively well-written if ultimately far-fetched. Jackie Cooper is the annoying tow-headed youngster whose mother and father (Lois Wilson and Lewis Stone) separate, with Wilson remarrying the town doctor, played by Conrad Nagel. Cooper can't adjust, and Stone has some trouble getting used to having a young boy around the house, so the sparks fly, as Nagel hopes to regain custody of Cooper and his older brother (Maurice Murphy). Nagel is particularly fine, as is Stone, but Cooper is annoying and Wilson is merely adequate as his mother. There's a nice set-bound recreation of the Sacramento River delta, though, and the film does a good job of keeping your attention.
