Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the first "talkies" to have an extensive background score - at the insistence of RKO's new production chief David O. Selznick.
- GoofsAs is often the case when showing a devout Jewish home, a menorah, the traditional candelabrum, is displayed. However, this is used only once a year, so for the rest of the year it is put away. Having it on show is like having a Christmas tree up all year round to show the family are Christians.
- Quotes
Dr. Schifflen: My boy, there are two kinds of men in our profession. Some are gifted with the spark of genius; some of us are... just doctors.
[walks to the door and opens it, then turns back toward Felix]
Dr. Schifflen: Felix Klauber, you're more capable than I, but if you don't go through with this operation, I will.

Featured review
Good-doctor-goes-bad tale is enlivened by Jewish humor
The story is nice, the theme pleasant (money isn't everything), but the outstanding element is the Jewish working-class background of a non-orthodox family. Not claustrophobic like the Jazz Singer and other self-pitying films, this film has an open and sunny attitude that makes it very accessible. Excellent, warm portrayals by Gregory Ratoff and Anna Appel as the stereotypical parents.
