About Rich Men's Sons
Idler rich-boy Arnold Treadway is the son of the president of a big railroad company who is forced by his disapproving father to go out and earn his own living. He goes to work for the owner, John Gordon, of a small iron works, whose business his father is trying to buy, and falls in love with Gordon's daughter, Carla. When Mr. Gordon falls ill, Carla takes over the operation aided by Arnold. The latter soon finds himself in a conflict situation in opposition to his father.
Directed by Ralph Graves, Rich Men's Sons leans on a strong ensemble — Ralph Graves, Shirley Mason, Robert Cain — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1927.
