In honor of Bette's birthday, we watched The Working Man starring Bette in her second pairing with George Arliss.
Jeff had never seen it, and I hadn't seen it in years.
It's not a great movie, but it's a lot of fun and farce.
Shoe manufacturer Reeves (Arliss) accidentally runs into the children (Davis and Theodore Newton) of his recently deceased rival. Annoyed at his own nephew (Hardie Albright who's running his company) and concerned about his rival's children, Reeves works with them to make their company a success. Meanwhile Davis works for the Reeves company to learn the shoe business and falls in love with Albright.
All ends well when the firms merge.
