Customer Reviews

“She was sitting on father’s pants.”

It is late-nineteenth-century New York, and the family is well regulated by father, Clarence Day, Sr. (William Powell); Well, maybe. We have the fun of watching a heavy-handed father attempt to influence his family. Unfortunately, for him, he has a secret exposed and learns a strange economic logic from his wife, Vinnie Day (Irene Dunne). Meanwhile, his number one son, Clarence Day, Jr. (Jimmy Lydon), while learning about women (Elizabeth Taylor), finds that his father's hand-me-down suit has a will of its own. This was based on a play, the 1939 Broadway production also called “Life with Father” that ran for over seven years (ran for 3,224 performances). It would be nice to have seen it to see what was adjusted for the movie.
