Willie and Eugene Howard, Jane Cowl, Richard Bennett, Pauline Lord, Fred Stone, Eugenie Leontovich, Ethel Barrymore, and such oddities as Author Sinclair Lewis in his own It Can't Happen Here (Cohasset, Mass.); Accordionist Phil Baker in Idiot's Delight (Dennis, Mass...
Sweepings is worthwhile for Lionel Barrymore's full-length portrait of a tight-lipped tycoon and for a smaller but equally perfect study by Gregory Ratoff of the tycoon's jealous but sympathetic underling.

Alan Mowbray as Josef, the valet, is a thoroughly snobbish servant of the more malignant variety. The burden of the comedy...
