A factory owner's son learns poverty has better jokes than his trust fund.
Slightly ironic comedy of wretches, who come to understand the rich and are able to accept charity, and also about how love and work prevail over the factory owner's son.
Acting
Hugo Haas owns every frame as the wily beggar patriarch.
Direction
Vávra and Haas balance social bite with genuine romantic sweetness.
