He has come back home to a poor section of London to visit his mother, Ma Mott (Ethel Barrymore), who ekes out a meager living as the owner of a store dealing in second-hand goods. Ma disapproves of Ernie's itinerant lifestyle and tells him so. Ernie is about to leave town again on bad terms with his mother when a family friend delivers some terrible news: Ma is dying of cancer.Ernie stays home with Ma without revealing that he knows of her condition. Old acquaintance Aggie Hunter (Jane Wyatt) makes it perfectly clear that she's in love with Ernie and wants him to marry her, but Ernie prefers Ada Brantline, who works at the amusement park. After finding out that Ada used to be married to local crime boss Jim Mordinoy, a bitter Ernie breaks up with her, and joins Jim's gang. Meanwhile, Ma, who wants to leave something to Ernie, makes the rash decision to cooperate with a gang of thieves in the fencing of stolen goods.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Barry Fitzgerald plays Henry Twite, an avuncular neighbor of Ma and Ernie's. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| None but the Lonely Heart / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Ma doesn't just die, she dies in prison. Ada goes back to Jim, breaking Ernie's heart. The only thing that saves the movie from full Downer Ending is that Ernie goes back to the loving and nurturing Aggie. | |

Chiaroscuro | |
| None but the Lonely Heart / int_75e2bf23 | comment |
Chiaroscuro: There is some very stark black-and-white lighting in some scenes, like the first scene where Ernie is silhouetted against the doorway to Westminster Abbey, or a later scene where Ernie and Henry are walking home along dimly lit streets at night. | |

"Dear John" Letter: Ada breaks up with Ernie via a letter given to Henry. Of course, it's mostly Ernie's fault as he wouldn't go away with her. | |
