VHS Movie Reviews of Life With Father [VHS]
Movie Review: This DVD is of very poor quality
Summary: 2 Stars
Although this is a great old-time movie, don't buy the current DVDs of Life With Father.
From what I read of other reviews, there is no current DVD version of any good quality.
When we tried to watch this, it was blurry like you were watching it through a frosted
TV screen, and the sound track was so muffled we couldn't make out half the words. The seller
was nice enough to send me a refund. Maybe some day they will produce a quality edition of
this classic movie, but till then, don't buy this one.
Summary of Life With Father [VHS]
Ah, remember those good old days when father ruled the roost, keeping a tight rein on the money, the kids, and the docile wife? Well, neither does Clarence Day (William Powell), the title character in Life with Father. Taking place in New York in 1883, this charming comedy purports to show the life of a strict father managing his house and his family, only to be constantly--and unknowingly--out-manipulated by his somewhat ditzy wife, Vinnie (Irene Dunne). Day is terrifying enough that maids keep quitting, but Vinnie manages to keep Day under control--that is, until she discovers that he was never baptized. A battle ensues as she desperately tries to ensure that they will one day meet in heaven, and all the while he severely maintains that the church has no business messing with a man's soul. Meanwhile, young Clarence Day Jr. (Jimmy Lydon) is busy falling for visiting Mary Skinner (played gigglingly by Elizabeth Taylor), and his brother John concocts a money-making scheme that involves the selling of a rather dubious potion. The costumes, the characters, and the wonderful story line--based on a play that was based on the memoir written by Clarence Day Jr.--make this a delightful movie that's perfect for a family-film night. --Jenny BrownComedy VHS Video
