A Feather In Her Hat 1935 Based on a novel by I A R Wylie, screenplay by Lawrence Hazard, directed by Alfred Santell. A melodrama that I watched because it had Basil Rathbone.
Basil is a drunken guy that a shop keeper brings into her home. She's a widow with a young son who she wants to better himself. She works over the years to turn him into a gentleman and a playwright. There's plenty of melodrama and some romance.
Pauline Lord plays the widow, Louis Hayward plays the son as a grownup, Nydia Westman plays the young woman who hoped to marry Louis. She gives him up so Wendy Barrie can have him. Billie Burke plays an older actress that has success in Louis's play. David Niven plays Wendy's suitor before Louis showed up.
Nothing overly special about it. You can see it on YouTube, see link above.
