The Son, 1951, National Film Board Canada set in Copetown Hamilton F832

An endearing short film about a farmer's son living in Copetown Ontario. As an adult he grows frustrated with having few prospects with his Father's strong hold over the farm. But after reminiscing back to his childhood in the 1930s, and an argument with his father over a cow, things sort themselves out. His dad comes to realise that his son must know where he stands and have a share in the farm, and with this the possibility of marriage and a future. They draw up a legal document with the town lawyer and all live happily ever after.
I can't help but think the message is about encouraging farmers to use lawyers more...who knows?
Sadly none of the actors are credited. Though some may well be actual residents of the town.
