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.（amazon.co.jp)
