    Honestly, more than the political messages themselves, the bigger message I took from this lovely film is how two men w/opposing political views can still support, respect, and encourage one another in the course of it. It's such a sweet, beautiful notion---one that has disappeared in the diatribes of furied faces in today's political news. Kindness and decorum has become a lost, unpracticed art. This movie brought a tear to my eye.

    How refreshing to see William Powell, once again, with an excellent cast, and a quite different premise for a movie. Not even a thought of inserting a curse word in the script, or a scene with naked actors, but a plot involving love and human decency in the midst of family, political debate and stable minds, while, as always, highlighting the classes.

    What’s so bad about naked actors? If it fits the film, and they’re of age, naked actors can be a tearjerker, a laugh, a shock, sexy, or just plain beautiful. I respect every actor who decides to unrobe for a good role, in service to the role. We were born naked, and we go naked (when the Musselin shirt has rotted), nakedness is natural.

    @@redrb26dett Hitler was a monster not because of the holocaust but because he and Germany emerged as the most powerful rival to British economy and the greatest threat to British power. Germany's economic success and military prowess posed a serious challenge to British hegemony. The Brits would've cared very less for Hitler even if he had committed massacres and genocides all around the continent. But it was only because of his challenge to the British supremacy that the Brits began a campaign against him. Churchill recognized how serious of a threat he was to Britain. A similar situation is arising as regards today's US and China relations. One way or another it will lead to a massive war, likely a third world war...down the line.

    Recently, after I mentioned how I love old movies, they said it's fake and romanticized. I don't think younger people understand that these movies are not fake, but an example of what men should strive to be. Fair play, honesty with ones self and the ability to agree to disagree, in the case of this movie. I love these movies and even now, I try to emulate these heroes on the screen. In their personal lives, all of them had their issues, but their body of work showed us how they wished we all could be.

I'm 45 and have now started delving into the movies of the 30s and 40's, since Hollywood has started to suck so much in the last 15 years. It's awesome to see other fans of him. If you haven't seen it, I would recommend "Life With Father" for one of his most entertaining performances.

    In 1931 a Detroit heiress ran away from home with the family chauffeur... and built a mansion in Santa Monica where they entertained lots of Hollywood stars and producers. If you ever watch Beverly Hills Cop- the mansion they have the shootout in at the end is the house they built. This and similar movies around this period were inspired by this couple’s real life.

    I am a William Powell fan and have only heard of this movie recently. It was so nice to see it! There is a class to these old movies that does not exist today - or for several years, actually. It seems that today's movies don't rely on an actor's abilities as much, or skill with directing or cinematography. Maybe I'm just biased because I dearly love the movies from the 30's through 60's...Anyway, thank you for making it possible to watch a gem from the past.

The Sound and picture quality was great. The Story line was great, because the loud background noise of movies today, there was no aggravation. Movies are made for the kids today.

His son, although there are rumors and speculation showed his father the love and respect by asking him to be the best man at his wedding and penned a 4 page letter to him saying goodbye that closed with " Things aren't that good here, I'm going where it's better ". I can't imagine the heartache of losing a child who was loved and cherished but sadly many many people have to endure that pain.
