LIFE WITH FATHER(1947)
This was a classic in its time! It just seems droll
to me! I know it's a comedy, but the humor is really
strained, again, to me! I'm probably one of the few
people in the world who didn't really enjoy this! C
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I have been a tremendous fan of this movie for
many years. I discovered the movie version after
I had seen a local stage production and it was an
excellent transfer of the play to the screen.
Until recently I had only seen it on TV first
in black and white years ago and then in color
on TCM. I like it so well I bought two of the
DVD versions (I won't mention which) and as
other reviewers have said they were horrible
with washed out color, grainy images and sound
that was not synchronized and barely understandable.
I guess this is all you can reasonably expect
for a movie that has some how slipped into
the public domain and for which there is not
much demand. However, while searching on Amazon
I discovered a review for a new digitally
remastered DVD that supposedly fixed all
those problems. I ordered a copy and the
review was correct. There is now an excellent
DVD available from DigiComTV
