Adam Had Four Sons is a 1941 drama and romance film, starring Ingrid Bergman, Warner Baxter, and Susan Hayward.

Warner Baxter portrays the wealthy, easy-going patriarch of a family that falls on hard times after the death of his wife and a stock market crash that wipes out his wealth. Recently arrived governess Emilie (played by Bergman) works to keep the family together. But soon, the older sons are off to war and she must return to France until Adam (played by Baxter) can afford to repurchase the family estate and recall Emilie to look after it. Reversing his fortunes takes several years. Then, just as everything is getting back to the former status...

One son returns with his new wife, Hester, (played by Hayward), who turns out be a conniving woman who wants to rule the roost. She schemes to rid the home of Emilie, while she seduces another son, Jack, when her husband is at war. Emilie discovers the affair, but keeps quiet to preserve Adam's happiness and the brother's reputation, pretending to Adam that she was the one involved with Jack.

Ultimately, all is discovered, and Hester receives her comeuppance. Emilie and Adam become engaged and all ends happily.

+'''''Adam Had Four Sons''''' is a 1941 drama and romance film, starring [[Ingrid Bergman]], [[Warner Baxter]], and [[Susan Hayward]].
+Warner Baxter portrays the wealthy, easy-going patriarch of a family that falls on hard times after the death of his wife and a stock market crash that wipes out his wealth. Recently arrived governess Emilie (played by Bergman) works to keep the family together. But soon, the older sons are off to war and she must return to France until Adam (played by Baxter) can afford to repurchase the family estate and recall Emilie to look after it. Reversing his fortunes takes several years. Then, just as everything is getting back to the former status...
-Previously owned by the local authority, the London Borough of Lewisham, the riverside tower was sold in order to aid funding of its regeneration plans for the Pepys Estate.  Completed in the Summer of 2006 by Berkeley Homes (East Thames), part of [[the Berkeley Group Holdings plc]], Aragon Tower has won numerous industry awards and its redevelopment, along with that of the Pepys Estate that it formed part of, has served as a catalyst for the regeneration of the wider [[Deptford]] area.
+One son returns with his new wife, Hester, (played by Hayward), who turns out be a conniving woman who wants to rule the roost. She schemes to rid the home of Emilie, while she seduces another son, Jack, when her husband is at war. Emilie discovers the affair, but keeps quiet to preserve Adam's happiness and the brother's reputation, pretending to Adam that she was the one involved with Jack.
-Designed by Rolfe Judd Architects and built out by Apex Construction, Aragon Tower represents one of the first large scale tower block regeneration projects within London.  14 Penthouse units were added to the top of Aragon Tower taking the building up to 29 storeys and cementing its position as one of the tallest residential towers in London at 92 metres.  The three Barbican towers ([[Cromwell Tower]], [[Lauderdale Tower]] and [[Shakespeare Tower]]) are higher at 123 metres, [[Ontario Tower]] is 104 metres, and other tall residential towers are under construction.
+Ultimately, all is discovered, and Hester receives her comeuppance. Emilie and Adam become engaged and all ends happily.
-This project proved highly successful due to the strong collaboration throughout the process between Berkeley Homes (East Thames), the London Borough of Lewisham and local residents groups.
