Summary: Fantastic Movie - but Poor Reproduction
Review: I bought this video because I had seen the movie on TV and just had to buy it. It gets better the more times you see it. Everyone was great and it keeps moving without a dull scene. However, I was disappointed in the reproducion of this "Hollywood Classics, Collectors Edition" manufactured and distributed by Madacy Entertainment Group.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste you money - a good movie trashed.
Review: This edition is a tragedy. Video quality is mediocre at best with pixelation and blurry source material (looks like 16MM film) and the audio is muddy beyond all standards for modern day transfers.

You will do better to record it on VHS tape off of AMC or Turner Classic Movies.

No kidding.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stay away from Madacy Entertainment
Review: Such a great movie, such a great way to watch a movie. What happened? Poor DVD digital quality (or lack of). The reason people have DVD players is to watch the best possible picture you can at home. I could have rented this movie on VHS and enjoyed it more if it was taped in SLP (or EP) mode. Buyer beware on this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Clean Fun!
Review: I really enjoyed this movie because it is a clean movie. There is no cussing, nudity, violence, etc. It is a very humorous film, that centers around the church. Clair has never been baptized, and his clever wife tricks him into it. This movie will leave you laughing until your stomach hurts. William Powell and Irene Dunne are wonderful!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst transfer to DVD around!
Review: They have literally destroyed one of my all time favorite movies. DO NOT BUY, RENT , or even STEAL this DVD. Stay with the VHS copy. Don't be fooled by the low price. It is atrocious. Terrible sound and picture, makes it totally unwatchable! I love the movie, I just can't believe they thought they could pull this one off.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best movies that reflect family relationships.
Review: I laughed throughout the entire movie. It was a well written story on how a man who really cared for the best things in life for his family and how he perceived his responsibility toward/for them. Clare's daily not knowing who the maid was maintained a high level of surprise. Vinnie understanding of money was humorous with her explaination to Clare was eventful. No matter how much Clare seemed to have himself together, his family was always spontaneous in their actions and attitudes. I loved every minute of it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A SUPERB MOVIE
Review: Don't believe the 3 star reviers listed here. They all deal with the QUALITY of the DVD version and have nothing to do with this VHS version. Reviewers, PLEASE be careful of which version you review! This is a wonderful classic film, and you will love it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Worst sound for a DVD!
Review: Be careful buying this DVD. The sound track is almost inaudible

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: William and Irene are one great couple!!!
Review: "I couldn't go to Heaven without Clare. Why, I get lonesome for him even when I go to Ohio." Such is the relationship of Clare and his wife Vinnie. She gives, he yells. Their children are little devils dresses up as angels, but who cares? They're all hilarious. Vinnie knows Clare loves her, because she keeps reminding him he does, but he never tells her. He is rather dominating, and very opinionated. Vinne likes to spend money, and she has to trick Clare when it comes to him paying the bills. This movie is really the story of their oldest son Clarence, and his troubles with his father (hence the name). Well, when he falls in love (with Elizabeth Taylor; I forgot her name so we'll call her Liz), his dad gives him some pointers. Let the women know who is boss. However, Clare doesn't know what to do when the woman cries, as he finds out when Vinnie gets sick. She also gets exasperated with Clare because he won't get baptized (because of Liz, the fact is revealed that he wasn't baptized. He decides it's pointless. Vinnie tells him he won't go to Heaven, but he's confident she'll get him in. Vinnie is worried, Because if he isn't baptized, he has no name. Therefore they are not married, and their children are illegitimate). Clarence has to get Liz to like him, Clare must realize that being baptized is necessary, and Vinnie just has to deal with everyone. All in all a great movie for the family to watch. Everyone will love it when Clare screams "Oh gad!" for the 8 billionth time!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was cool, witty, and, well, funny!
Review: William Powell does a brillaint job in this movie. He minipulates the standard of life in the 1880's. If you're ever to an old theater in England, I suggest you try it. (Oh, gad!!!)
