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.
