Summary: GREAT Movie, WRONG format!!!
Review: I remember seeing this in the theaters as a kid when it was re-released (@1970) -- I was only nine at the time, but I enjoyed it. I still do when I see it at on TCM, and for now, I'll stick to TCM until this studio releases this in its appropriate WIDESCREEN format! I mean, between Helen's 8 kids and Frank's 10, you need a widescreen to see the whole family at once!
A lot of people here like the drunk scene, which I actually find a bit sad, but one of my favorite moments is when Helen and Frank are on their 1st date. While they're riding the trolley we see her point of view as he tells her that he has 10 kids and we see the street suddenly turn upside down in front of her! There's a lot of subtle touches in this movie like that. And it's still enjoyable after all these years. Unlike the Brady Bunch, the younger kids act (mostly) like real little kids, bickering, bawling, and not always behaving or even liking each other. Tim Matheson's character is as far removed from 'Boone' in Animal House that you can get, even (happily) joining the army! But Henry and Lucy are the real prize here, acting like real grown adults would in such a situation. Wait for the Widescreen Version! Another fun movie with similar theme to it (but not based on true life events) is the funny 'With Six you Get Eggroll' with Doris Day and Brian Keith, but I don't know if that's available on DVD yet.
