highly recommended

Frank Capra's 1938 populist spin on the George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart play about a family of happy eccentrics is a great deal of fun, though it significantly rewrites the original work and doesn't represent Capra (Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington) at his best. Jean Arthur plays a member of the blissful Vanderhof household who falls in love with a rich man's son (James Stewart) and brings him into her nutty home. Lionel Barrymore, who played such a bad guy eight years later in Capra's It's a Wonderful Life, is the wonderful Grandpa Vanderhof, who addresses God during the dinner prayer as "sir" and speaks plainly and beautifully of why it's good to be alive. Capra took this opportunity to rail against big business and champion the common man, but the overall tone of the film--typical for the director's comedies--is buoyant and snappy. --Tom Keogh

Simply wonderful.... A must have!

This is such a wonderful film, and a MUST have for any collection. They don't make pictures like this anymore. Great comedy, it will keep you laughing. Reminds you of what is important in life...family, friends and happiness, not the empty pursuit of money. The entire cast is fantastic! The quality of film is excellent. Ths movie is well worth every penny!

You Can't Take It With You

This DVD has excellent sound and picture quality. For a movie that was made in the late 30's, it has been well preserved. Any DVD I order from Amazon has excellent quality.
