The Courtship of Eddie's Father

Rating:
Summary: charming family comedy
Review: Glenn Ford and Ronny Howard star in the wonderful family comedy THE COURTSHIP OF EDDIE'S FATHER, a warm, winning film directed by master showman Vincente Minnelli.

After his wife dies, Tom Corbett (Glenn Ford) is coping as best he can, now being one of New York's most eligible bachelors. His young son Eddie (Ronny Howard), however, has definite ideas about who he wants his father to marry. None other than the kindly young divorcee living across the hall, Elizabeth (Shirley Jones). Tom, however, is dating cold socialite Rita (Dina Merrill).

How father and son teach each other about life and love makes for unforgettable screen entertainment.

With Stella Stevens, Roberta Sherwood and Jerry Van Dyke.

Summary: What a GREAT, CHARMING FILM!
Review: I love this movie with Glenn Ford and Ronny Howard. It's a fun comedy yet touching. It's for people of all ages who would enjoy watching a charming movie. I've seen it many times and can't get enough of it. Glenn Ford portays a widower who is raising his child alone. Little Ronny Howard wants to make his dad happy by finding him a new wife. I suggest you purchase this movie and see it.

Summary: A family love story tender, heartfelt and funny
Review: If you ever need a movie to remind you what love is about then watch this movie...again and again and again. Ron Howard (Opie) as Eddie, shows the power of a child actor before the age of spoiled brat actors. No finer story for a father, a husband a couple, anyone else to enjoy.

Summary: The Courtship Of Shirley & Ronny
Review: Of course, being a huge Partridge Family fan I have encountered every film Shirley Jones ever made. The Re-teaming of Shirley Jones and Ronny Howard (Also 1962 THE MUSIC MAN) for this film was a delight. She looks beautiful in this film, too. And the scene between Ronny Howard and Glen Ford at the end of the film had me rolling with laughter. He was truly an amazingly gifted young child actor. His sincerity and believability was remarkable for such a young age. His preformance alone would have been enough in this film but every actor gives a wonderfully talented performance (Even Jerry Van Dyke). So, if you want to see a funny, touching and romantic view of the world through the eyes of a little boy for his father......Buy this movie. It's a step back into the early 1960's where life was simpler and movies still had style. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!

Summary: The Original Courtship
Review: The film version of The Courtship Of Eddie's Father is not as well known as the television show it spawned, but it is an enjoyable film. The film stars Glenn Ford as recently widowed New York City disk jockey who must raise his eight-year old son, Eddie played by Ron Howard. Shirley Jones co-stars as the family's next-door neighbor who develops into a love interest for Mr. Ford (this is the second film in row that Mr. Howard & Ms. Jones starred in together after 1962's The Music Man). Jerry Van Dyke provides comic relief as a fellow DJ who is the typical early 60's swinging ladies man. The film's best moments are the interaction between Mr. Ford & Mr. Howard. Their relationship is lovingly depicted and the sense of loss and coping that they go through is quite realistic. The Courtship Of Eddie's Father is a good, family friendly film.
