Customer Reviews of Life With Father
Life With Father- - - A True Classic This film has lost none of its appeal over the years. I remember loving it as a child and it still is one of my favorites. William Powell is a joy to behold as the overbearing yet loving Clarence Day Sr. And Irene Dunne gives what I consider to be one of her better performances. Elizabeth Taylor can do no wrong and is as adorable as ever. Fans of Adam-12 might not have noticed that the second son, John, is played by Martin Milner (who, co-incidentally, is in Mr. Roberts with William Powell, though sadly, not in any scenes together). As for the quality of the DVD, I found that my copy has two minor audio problems where the sound drops out entirely. Thankfully it is only for a short moment. Otherwise it is a wonderfully preserved movie, showing some of our finest actors at their best. LOVE IT!!! Five stars all the way!
Good movie, weak video, poor sound
"Life With Father" is an enjoyable movie. Unfortunately, the video on the DVD is not that good (though better than a VHS version I've seen). What makes this DVD a real disappointment is the sound quality. Aside from only coming through the left channel, the sound is rather muddled and fuzzy. I suppose one shouldn't complain too much given the low price, but it was still dissappointing.
Winning movie deserves better presentation.
Despite the anomalies of this DVD version, "Life with Father" is still a winning, wonderful movie suitable for viewing by all ages. William Powell stars as the combustible, but essentially kind and loving patriach of a late 1800's family in New York City. A wife and three adolescent boys round out this colorful family.
Powell lends irascible charm to his role while Irene Dunne plays the slightly ditsy, well meaning wife marvelously. The supporting cast includes a young and very beautiful Elizabeth Taylor as a flirtatious visitor as well as the future star of the television series "Adam 12", Martin Milner, as the middle son.
"Life with Father" has plenty of warmth and humor to make it well worth seeing. It just needs a better presentation than in its current DVD format. Catch it when it airs on television for an optimal viewing experience.
