The Blot (1921)
Professor Griggs, teaching at the college, doesn't get paid a living wage; his next door neighbor, successful shoemaker Olsen, has money and plentiful food, while the Griggses have hardly any. When the professor's rich student Phil West falls for beautiful Griggs daughter Amelia and also befriends the poor Reverend Gates (a young man who is also in love with Amelia), he observes the difference in his life and theirs and tries to help make a difference.

From my favorite movies..
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
