Wonderful Movie but DVD is DREADFUL! Don't Buy this!.......2007-04-28
How to ruin a perfectly marvelous movie? Make a poor quality DVD. The picture is so washed out most details are lost and the sound so low I had to turn up the volume to 99 just to hear it whisper. THIS DVD IS VERY BAD! Please just record this gem the next time it comes on TCM and save your money. It is a shame such a wonderful film has been treated in such a poor manner.
Disappointed.......2007-04-14
The first time I saw this movie, it was on TV. I remembered enjoying it very much. This led to my purchasing the DVD. I was, however, very disappointed in the DVD. The quality of the recording was so bad I gave up half way through the movie. The picture quality was poor and the sound was even worse. It was difficult to understand the dialogue. I am sorry to report this. I was hoping for so much more.
A sequel that retains the freshness of the original..........2006-12-31
Detailing the life of the newlyweds (does he really love her?) and the traumas attendant upon the birth of the first baby, "Father's Little Dividend" is a movie as cozy and as dependent on little shocks of recognition as its predecessor, "Father of the Bride." Guided with the Minnelli grace, the movie is that rare thing--a sequel that retains the freshness of the original...
These two movies are something of a curiosity in Taylor's career... It wasn't too often that Liz got the chance to play a completely average young lady, the charming girl next door rather than the rich and unattainable beauty...
In "Cynthia" or "A Date with Judy," she was someone set apart from the prom crowd... Here, as bride-to-be or as eager wife and mother, she's a healthy, normal young woman, something of a forerunner to Elinor Donahue's bright, bubbly Betty of "Father Knows Best."
Once again, Spencer Tracy stole the picture as he came to face the fact of grandfatherhood...
Extremely Poor Quality DVD.......2006-12-10
I love this movie. I have the VHS version and wanted it on DVD. However, I will be keeping my VHS. This copy is dreadful. It is unviewable. I will never buy from Alpha Video again.

Customer Reviews:
Wonderful Movie but DVD is DREADFUL! Don't Buy this!.......2007-04-28
How to ruin a perfectly marvelous movie? Make a poor quality DVD. The picture is so washed out most details are lost and the sound so low I had to turn up the volume to 99 just to hear it whisper. THIS DVD IS VERY BAD! Please just record this gem the next time it comes on TCM and save your money. It is a shame such a wonderful film has been treated in such a poor manner.
Disappointed.......2007-04-14
The first time I saw this movie, it was on TV. I remembered enjoying it very much. This led to my purchasing the DVD. I was, however, very disappointed in the DVD. The quality of the recording was so bad I gave up half way through the movie. The picture quality was poor and the sound was even worse. It was difficult to understand the dialogue. I am sorry to report this. I was hoping for so much more.
A sequel that retains the freshness of the original..........2006-12-31
Detailing the life of the newlyweds (does he really love her?) and the traumas attendant upon the birth of the first baby, "Father's Little Dividend" is a movie as cozy and as dependent on little shocks of recognition as its predecessor, "Father of the Bride." Guided with the Minnelli grace, the movie is that rare thing--a sequel that retains the freshness of the original...
These two movies are something of a curiosity in Taylor's career... It wasn't too often that Liz got the chance to play a completely average young lady, the charming girl next door rather than the rich and unattainable beauty...
In "Cynthia" or "A Date with Judy," she was someone set apart from the prom crowd... Here, as bride-to-be or as eager wife and mother, she's a healthy, normal young woman, something of a forerunner to Elinor Donahue's bright, bubbly Betty of "Father Knows Best."
Once again, Spencer Tracy stole the picture as he came to face the fact of grandfatherhood...
Extremely Poor Quality DVD.......2006-12-10
I love this movie. I have the VHS version and wanted it on DVD. However, I will be keeping my VHS. This copy is dreadful. It is unviewable. I will never buy from Alpha Video again.
