An elderly couple has their house foreclosed. The mother moves in with their adult son and wife, who would rather play bridge than deal with her. The father fares no better with an ungrateful daughter who doesn't want to be bothered. The couple eventually reunites in the hotel in which they spent their honeymoon fifty years earlier. I suppose there are people like those depicted here, or even worse, but to watch their selfish actions for nearly 2 hours is quite a chore. Victor Moore and Beulah Bondi as the elderly couple are contrived to elicit maximum sympathy from the audience.
