Rich Man's Folly
A master of industry, a slave to money and commercial ambition-until love teaches him that happiness is not bought on the alter of gold and silver.
The dream of Paul Dombey, the wealthy owner of the shipping company, is to have a son to continue his business. Tragically, Dombey's wife dies shortly after giving birth to their son.
Directed by John Cromwell · Written by Edward E. Paramore Jr.
