The Last Gentleman (1934)
In New England circa 1933, a niece is reported missing and presumed dead and Cabot Barr (George Arliss) summons his relatives to the family estate for a memorial service.

Only niece Marjorie, who has ridiculed one of his pet eccentricities, seems to be the object of any sentimental affection.
