The Younger Generation

In the 1929 silent drama film "The Younger Generation," a social-climbing Jewish man's ruthless business practices bring him great success, but at the cost of his relationships with his old-world parents and his own sense of identity. As he navigates the treacherous waters of Manhattan's high society, Morris Goldfish must confront the emptiness of wealth and the importance of staying true to one's roots. Directed by Frank Capra and starring Ricardo Cortez, this film is a poignant exploration of the generation gap and the enduring power of family ties.
