About Father's Day

Father's Day began in the early 20th century to complement Mother's Day in celebrating fatherhood and parenting by men, and to honor and commemorate fathers and forefathers. It is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide, and typically involves gift-giving to fathers and family-oriented activities.

A movie, "The Sins of the Children" also known as "Father's Day" and "The Richest Man in the World," is a 1930 MGM early sound drama/film, produced and directed by Sam Wood.

In the movie, Adolf Wagenkampf, a German immigrant barber on the verge of becoming rich, takes his sickly son away on a two-year stay in a drier climate. The man's partner deems him a failure, but he learns that his family is more important than finance.
