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.

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.

Elizabeth Taylor fans- GRAB this while you can!.......2006-03-01
I felt very inclined to write a review on this DVD of Liz Taylors three movies that are stuck in public domain hell! It arrived today- and let me tell you- getting my hands on this DVD title was NO easy task! Amazon does not have it- and I got it off of ebay brand new for like $5.00- still sealed. However- some the the sellers that specialize in DVD's on ebay list this DVD as available and then after you pay for it- you get an email telling you it is out of stock. Good luck on your hunt for this release!!
Now about the DVD. I was skeptical about it myself- I rarely buy these public domain titles simply because and to put it bluntly the quality generally sucks. However, I remember years ago getting the Joan Crawford film "Autumn Leaves" on VHS from Goodtimes home video and was shocked to discover the print was fantastic. As a matter of fact when Columbia Tri Star home video renewed the rights and saved Joans film from public domain hell- the print was almost exactly the same. So I knew Goodtimes took pride in what they release.
After reading the above review- my hunt was on for this DVD- as I am an Elizabeth Taylor fan, and having the Liz Taylor signature collection that includes "Father of the Bride"- I had to have the sequel "Fathers Little Dividend"!
Now back to this DVD. The print of "Life with Father" is just so so. Not horrible - not great. I wasnt really looking for thie film anyway- it is a bonus that it is included. The colors in this film are off- it looks like a colorized version. It may be- I havent done my homework so I dont know if it was filmed in color or not - but it is definately a watchable copy.
"Fathers Little Dividend"- can I say how PLEASED I am with this transfer!! Granted it is not a "remastered" WB title- but let me tell you it is the BEST print you will find. SKIP all the other public domain releases- this is the BEST. I was actually overly pleased. The black and white was even, there is specs floating about on the print- but the best way I can describe this print would be - it is like an official WB/MGM title released on VHS - (remember how MGM home video was releasing classics on VHS like crazy - minus the remastering that is so common today)- however sharper and more defined - without the graininess of VHS. It is really a very good print- just dont compare it to the new WB DVD rematered prints of black and white films.
"The Last Time I Saw Paris"....aaaahhhh this is the last time you will need to look for a better print- unless offically released from WB. GREAT COPY! The color is very good- the picture is very sharp- which I was worried about when I saw the opening credits- then when the movie officially starts it is clear- sharp- again- DONT expect WB DVD quality here- but also DONT expect the worse. The sound and picture are great and Elizabeth Taylor is a true knockout in this film- she is gorgeous and this DVD does her justice. The film does have the constant speckles running through it- but easily overlooked.
Even the packaging of this DVD is great. The cover art is well done. THANKS to Goodtimes! This is really a GREAT DVD for $5.00 of three films that are stuck in public domain.
I seriously recommend you fans get this while you can. It is harder and harder to find. You will likely not find it in any store- I know I couldnt. It is worth it. Again, dont expect digitally remastered quality- think again of the quality as an official VHS_ however clearer- and sharped- for DVD. Enjoy!
Elizabeth Taylor Triple Feature.......2005-10-26
Just a wonderful carefully done transfer using new double sided technology, which allows all 3 movies to be placed on the disc and still preserving the higher transfer rate which equals better detail. Color is true, original was in great shape, and the Dolby Digital soundtrack is clear. I have seen these movies remastered before, but this Good Times remaster is the best of the lot, done with the care these classics deserve! Since two of these are Oscar winners this makes sense, but many so called studios are out for a quick buck, selling bad looking, bad sounding, cut product. Cudos to Good Times for doing the job right. Even the artwork on the package looks first rate! Five Stars.
