Father's Son (1931) is an all-talking melodrama film which was produced by Warner Brothers in 1930 and released early in 1931. The movie is based on the novel Old Fathers and Young Sons by Booth Tarkington. Leon Janney was being groomed as a child star by Warners, and this film was the one of several he starred in. His career, however, never took off, and in late 1931, he was released from his contract.

Preservation

The film is believed to be a lost film, with no film elements known to exist. The complete soundtrack, however, survives on Vitaphone disks.
