Kathleen Burke and Jack Holt in The Awakening of Jim Burke (1935)

User reviews

The Awakening of Jim Burke

1 review
7/10

Father and Son at odds

Jim Burke is a man's man. He works hard, plays hard, and is the undisputed leader of the men he lives and works with in the wilds of America(Jack Holt).

Although Jim has a beautiful girlfriend(Kathleen Burke) anxious to get married, he has kept a secret from most of his acquaintances and his girlfriend. He has a 12 year old son(Jimmy Butler) from a previous marriage. His son lives in the big city with his mother and is a successful budding concert violinist.

Jim senior gets a letter from his lawyer stating that as per the divorce agreement, he is the parent who takes custody of his son when the age of 12 is reached.

When Jim junior arrives in the rugged home of his father, the budding violinist just does not fit into the rough and tumble world. Luckily a young woman(Florence Rice) who works in the local store, understands and befriends the younger Jim Burke.

However, there are a lot of difficult situations that father and son must work through as Jim senior tries to mold the young violinist into a rugged image of his father.

The four main actors all carry off their parts well to make this a good watch from 1935.
