SILAS WILSON realizes that his business is being run to the ground, and that he cannot longer compete with the newer foundries unless he makes radical changes in his methods and employees.

Through the influence of his daughter, the general managership is passed over to her fiance,—one Jack Berry —a young man, well trained in the school of modern methods.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its drama at the intersection of family loyalty and business necessity, relying on the period's acute theme of technological obsolescence. It explores the human cost of progress, questioning the place of tradition and aged loyalty in a modernizing world.

What lingers after viewing is a stark, silent record of an economic transition, where personal bonds are tested by the relentless march of industry. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Oscar Eagle
