Of Human Hearts (1938)

A reverend uproots his family to rural Ohio to serve as the local parson. Once there, they find that the community isn't as generous as they were promised -- a fact that husband and wife take in humble stride, while their son Jason is disgusted.

Jason makes friends with the local boozy doctor (against his father's wishes, natch) and develops an interest in medicine...which, seemingly out of nowhere, translates into disdain for his father's profession in young adulthood. I liked the movie alright, but the messages it "teaches" aren't anything new. Be grateful. Don't be greedy. Make sure those you love know you love them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
