Bachelor Father, The (1931)
Welcome home, Tony, Geoffrey and Mariaâ¦to a home and father you never knew. Ex-playboy Sir Basil Winterton has located the now-grown children he sired out of wedlock by different women and invited them to share the splendor of Rooksfold Manor. Psst! The cranky old man doesnât know (viewers do) that Tony isnât really his child. Top-billed Marion Daviesâs portrayal of unflappable flapper Tony is so central and appealing that this early comedy Talkie could aptly be called The Bachelor Fatherâs Daughter. C. Aubrey Smith reprises his stage role as the stiff-upper-lipper whose uppercrust crust is softened by family. The source play is by Edward Childs Carpenter, whose Connie Goes Home inspired The Major and the Minor.
