Sweepings is a 1933 American pre-Code drama film directed by John Cromwell, written by Lester Cohen, and starring Lionel Barrymore, Eric Linden, William Gargan, Gloria Stuart and Alan Dinehart.

General manager Abe Ullman has been with Pardway since the beginning and devoted himself completely to the store, so much so that he is unmarried and alone.

Aging, Daniel tells Abe that his job is secure as long as he is alive, but once his children inherit the store, he will be out.

Daniel tells them he is disappointed in all of them, and that if they do not prove worthy within six months, he is leaving his majority share to Abe.

The Daniel Pardway character is based on Marshall Field, American founder of the Chicago-based department store chain.
