Mr. Cohen Takes a Walk Reviews

Charming story about a self-made Jewish businessman who creates a successful large business from his meager beginnings as a peddler. His sons adapt a number of modern methods in running the business, which leaves the old man feeling left out in the cold. He longs for the old simple way of doing things, so when his wife dies of a heart attack, he takes to a life of wandering, leaving his business in the hands of his sons. He travels to America, where he reads in the paper that all the workers of his store have gone on strike. He returns with his youngest son and takes over the store again, this time insisting on his own methods of management. His youngest boy also shuns the new way of doing business but shocks his father when he announces that he intends to marry a Gentile girl. Story ends with the bride and groom getting married in a dual religious ceremony, with the father's blessing.
