| User ReviewGreg WDelightfully witty, but has pacing problems in a few scenes. |
| User ReviewEmily HThis movie is really lovely. It has heart and in a way, though society has so greatly changed, still relevant. Ronald Colman is an endearing father who learns to loosen his tight grip on his children and their lives. Definitely worth a viewing if you love older films and an earlier work of Mankiewicz. |
