Monday, Feb. 13 - Most Precious Thing in Life

Most Precious Thing in Life (1934)

Ellen Holmes, a girl from an ordinary family, marries a rich, yet spoiled, boy from a snobbish family. The pair has a son, but soon Ellen finds herself ousted from the life of her husband. However, she rediscovers her son years later.

Pressured by her husband’s blue-blood family to grant him a divorce for the good of their son, Ellen Holmes does so, eventually winding up as a maid at the school where her grown son is a student. Here, from a discreet distance, she witnesses his passage through life, and restrains herself from intervening until she sees history repeating itself.

A scrubwoman, denied custody of her son for 20 years, comes to his aid when he encounters romantic troubles as a man.
