Life with Father (1947)



A financier from New York rules his numerous family, consisting of his wife and his four sons, with the meticulousness of a bookkeeper.

From memory: Lovable, old-fashioned family comedy, made the director's usual expertise, with a great cast, but foremost: William Powell is a treat.

Halliwell*: "Well-upholstered screen version of a long-running play; oddly tediousconsidering the talent involved."

Maltin****: "Rich adaptation...Utterly delightful, and a handsome production as well."
