Movie: Over the Hill

 

Over the Hill is an early ‘talkie’ US melodrama made in 1931. Morning in the Shelby house finds Ma trying to wake up her four children – Johnny, Thomas, Isaac, and Susan – and get them ready for school. The boys fight and kick each other as they dress, waking Pa, who irritably spanks Isaac. In school, Isaac is humiliated when the teacher, on whom he has a crush, finds a drawing of him on the blackboard kissing her. Though Thomas did it, Johnny is blamed, and Johnny later receives a whipping from his father.
