Sins of the Fathers is a 1928 American sound part-talkie drama film produced by Famous Players–Lasky and released by Paramount Pictures. Like the majority of films during the early sound era, it was also issued in a silent version for theaters which were not yet wired for sound. The film was directed by Ludwig Berger and stars Emil Jannings and Ruth Chatterton in her motion picture debut. [1]
The film featured a theme song entitled "Little Fellow" which was composed by Pat Heale, David Paget and Walter Collins
