Sorrell and Son

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sorrell and Son (1927) was a silent film released on December 2, 1927 and nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director in the 1st Academy Awards the following year. The film was based on the novel of the same name by Warwick Deeping, adapted by Elizabeth Meehan. It was written and directed by Herbert Brenon. Filming took place in England.

The film has been remade twice, once in 1934 with H.B. Warner repeating his role as Stephen Sorrell, and as a British television serial in 1987.

The 1927 version was presumed lost for many years, but in 2005 the Academy Film Archive premiered a partially restored print.
