- Synopsis:
- From director Frank Borzage (Desire) comes 'Little Man, What Now?', a romantic drama starring Margaret Sullavan (The Shop Around the Corner) and Douglass Montgomery (Little Women). In depression-era Germany, Hans (Montgomery) and his pregnant wife Emma (Sullavan) - affectionately known as 'Lammchen' - struggle to keep their heads above water. Their situation is complicated when Hans' boss, who believes him to be a bachelor, demands that he marry his daughter. Based on the best-selling novel by Hans Fallada (Alone in Berlin) that has been adapted on numerous occasions in its native Germany, 'Little Man, What Now?' is a heart-rending tale of life on the margins.
