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 Brown

I enjoyed this movie because it has great views of life in a different century. A very young Elizabeth Taylor and Irene Dunn along with William Powell make this an entertaining 2 hours!

The first DVD I purchased of this movie had distorted pixels, so I returned it. I asked for a second DVD and it, too, has distortion with the video and no audio. Should I try again?

I have always loved this movie. I have always had good quality items from Amazon but this DVD was bad. The picture was of poor quality and you can hardly understand what they were actually saying.
I returned the movie. I don't know if it was this one DVD or are they all like that.

The quality of the video was very poor. The sound was bad and part of the video was so bad you couldn't watch it. I really love this movie and was very disappointed

Life with father is, a true story and I can vouch for it being just like real life, at least life with a father like mine, {born in 1919}.
Like Vinnie, in the movie, my mother always got what she wanted too, and my father was always fussing about it, just like Mr.Clarence Day, and to hear him tell his eldest son about women, when he first notices his son taking an interest in girls, or rather in a girl, was just like hearing my father tell my brother about women!
It is so true to real ... Read More
