Comedy of Jewish domestic life depicts an impecunious old man who is to inherit a legacy if he can prove he is in need. He begins to gamble with his savings, but things don’t seem to work in his favor.

“I was well aware of the thriving Yiddish film industry in the United States,but before i saw this film i was totally unaware that ethnic films such as this had been made in the UK.It features Jack u0026quot;Kidu0026quot;Berg in his only featured role in a version o0f Brewsters Millions.He was the World Welterweight champion in 1930-31 and therefore not unnaturally the film manages to incorporate a boxing match into the film.What rather intrigues me is whether this film was made mainly to be shown in the East End,his nickname being the u0026quot;Whitechapel Whirlwindu0026quot; or whether this was for wider circulation.This film is obviously a bit dated but it is of some historic interest.”
