I think I've seen it. Not bad. Wasn't it mostly about the Erector Set? Also a great toy by the way.

Yes, Erector set and then more at the end. It was The Man Who Saved Christmas. Gov't got him to tell toy makers to cancel Christmas during WWI. In the end, he got them to reverse it. His son came up with the chemistry set idea.
