Friends of Mr. Sweeney

Mr. Holliday (Charlie Ruggles) is a dull man who has succombed to mediocrity over the years. While he was once a star football player in college, now he is pushed around by everyone around him. In particular, his boss wants him to write an article in support of a political candidate that Holliday knows is a crook...and he's too timid to say no.

When an old college buddy (Eugene Pallett) comes for a visit, this shakes everything up. This is because the buddy expects the same Holliday he knew in college. Over time, however, Holliday develops some spine and becomes the man he wishes he was. Watch the film and watch this worm turn.

This is a cute little comedy. Ruggles is excellent in the lead, though it is strange to see such a small and mousy man playing a man who used to be a successful college quarterback. Still, it's all good fun and I think you'll enjoy it.
