Warwick, a best-selling novelist in both Europe and America in the 1920s and 1930s, became a household name in the years following the publication of Sorrell and Son.

 Sorrell and Son (1927)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
I saw 'Sorrell and Son' recently at Cinecon 41 in L.A. and if anyone doesn't believe me, there were several hundred other people in the room with me. Actually, the last reel was missing from the print that we viewed, so maybe that much of this film really *is* lost.
I suspect that director Herbert Brenon and his screenwriter Elizabeth Meehan were intimidated by the extreme popularity of Deeping's novel, and were reluctant to prune the story for fear that Deeping's readers would complain.

Immigration, 75 years of class leveling, and a rising sort of Cockney boorishness among the English lend this novel of public schools, tea, uniformed maids, and the proverbial stiff upper lip a sort of quaint, antique reverie in regard to the English soul.
