Hal Linden's performance in "Dodsworth," a new musical premiering at Casa Manana, is one of the show's chief charms, but his likable presence also spotlights the show's problems with style and content.
Sam Dodsworth has "thick hands" and his wife, Fran, can make him feel "as clumsy as a St. Bernard." As portrayed Walter Huston in the 1939 film version -- based on Sidney Howard's Broadway hit -- even at 60, Dodsworth is a rawboned, hickish eager-beaver.
Basically, "Dodsworth" is a consoling, middle-brow social satire, and as such, it has the soul of a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical.

My understanding is that the family originated in Dodworth in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and that Thomas Dodsworth acquired the Thornton Watlass Estate in 1415 by marriage to Agnes daughter and heiress of Hugh Thoresby Chief captain of Richmondshire, and I think that this was the start of the Dodsworths in North Yorkshire.

 Greatish Performances: Walter Huston, Dodsworth
As Dodsworth, he carries the weight of an authentic man in his life-worn carriage and deep-set eyes, a man whose desires, feelings and actions fit like a square peg into the round hole of Hollywood formulas.

 DVD Savant Review: Dodsworth
What's difficult to appreciate now about William Wyler's achievement in Dodsworth is that he approaches the subject with a mature attitude that isn't concerned with anything exploitative.
MGM's DVD of Dodsworth is a good but not remastered or perfect transfer, b&w and flat, of course.
Like most of their other Goldywn library acquisitions, the materials are in very good shape, and there's a French track that gives 55ish Walter Huston the voice of a man half his age.

Initially concentrated on Yorkshire, Dodsworth's activity eventually spread to most of England.
In 1635 he met William Dugdale, and the two men decided to collaborate on the Monasticon Anglicanum which was eventually published after Dodsworth's death.

Walter Huston is just plain terrific (lost out at academy award time that year to Paul Muni), and Ruth Chatterton (straight from Broadway, and does it show in her awesome performance) is perfect for the role of Fran Dodsworth.
Chatterton lived a life ahead of her time: she directed Broadway plays as well, translated French plays for the American theatre, and was a licensed pilot.
I think this film should have won the academy award that year (1936) instead of "The Great Ziegfeld," although, of course, there is much to be said for that film as well.

Described as a 'middle-age love story' Dodsworth was the first great collaboration between director William Wyler and producer Samuel Goldwyn and is taken from the smash hit Broadway production of Sinclair Lewis' novel.
It tells the storty of Samuel Dodsworth a leading citizen of the mid-western town Zenith and the founder of the Revelation motor company and his relationship with his pretentious wife Fran and what happens when they take a European vacation and end up making new relationships.

That it made it to the screen intact was something of a triumph for producer Samuel Goldwyn, director Wyler, and screenwriter Sidney Howard, adapting his own play, based on Sinclair Lewis's novel.
Goldwyn was originally reluctant to take on the project, thinking it a non-starter but he ended up changing his mind, buying the screen rights for a hundred and sixty thousand dollars.
Wyler was hired to direct and threw himself into the project and the end result is a brilliant and mature Hollywood classic.
