Life with Father (1947)

Around Fathers' Day, we are celebrating with a tale of paternal misadventures: Life with Father (1947)! In this Michael Curtiz classic, we watch the redheaded Day family navigate entertaining out-of-town guests (including Mary Skinner played by a young Elizabeth Taylor!), recruiting household employees (which usually ends in failure), being scammed into a sales scheme, and the biggest issue of all... convincing their husband/father to get baptized so he can potentially join them in the "kingdom of God." In this episode, we learn about what it means to be baptized and also what our own unbaptized Ben thinks at the end of the episode! With both silly and tender moments, this movie is sure to touch your heart. Let us know your favorite movie about fatherly devotion!
