I am an old black-and-white film, England or the USA. The man working in some office. He has a wife, children (perhaps one son). The man said that the work was not appreciated, he does not like your boss, sometimes poorly speaks about the chief in the presence of his wife, but when the family was a trouble (seriously ill child), all of these "bad" people came to him for help - find a nice doctor, like even paid for the operation. Looked for a long time, I do not remember the details. But was there an episode when the poor father rushed to the house of an elderly man (probably the chief), who was already asleep, he jumped out of bed and said: "I can not hear you, speak here" - and points to a hearing aid in his chest.
Almost without hope, but suddenly. -

part of it sounds like "
Made for Each Other (1939)
".
John Mason (James Stewart) is a young, somewhat timid attorney in New York City. He has been doing his job well, and he has a chance of being made a partner in his law firm, especially if he marries Eunice (Ruth Weston), the daughter of his employer, Judge Doolittle. However, John meets Jane (Carole Lombard) during a business trip, and they fall in love and marry immediately. Eunice eventually marries another lawyer in the firm, Carter (Donald Briggs). John's mother (Lucile Watson) is disappointed with his choice, and an important court trial forces him to cancel the honeymoon. He wins the case, but by that time Judge Doolittle has chosen John's kowtowing coworker Carter as the new partner.
Jane encourages John to demand a raise and a promotion, but with finances tightened by the Depression, Doolittle requires that all employees accept pay cuts. After Jane has a baby, John becomes discouraged by his unpaid bills and by tension between Jane and his mother, who lives with them in their small apartment.
On New Year's Eve, 193839, the baby is rushed to the hospital with pneumonia. The baby will die within hours unless a serum is delivered by plane from Salt Lake City. Doolittle agrees to provide funding to deliver the serum, but with a storm raging, and with a wife and children to consider, the pilot refuses to fly.
the new year's eve scene features Stewart breaking into Judge Doolittle's (Charles Coburn's) bedroom and waking him up to ask for help.
