INFO:

Life With Father (1947) A headstrong 19th century stockbroker, Clarence Day (William Powell), strives (unsuccessfully) to make his family function as efficiently as his Wall Street office. Mr. Day likes things to go his way, and naively believes that he controls every aspect of his families affairs, though his wife Vinnie Day (Irene Dunne) is really the one running the show. The anecdotal story encompasses such details as Clarence's attempts to find a new maid, a plan by Clarence Jr. and his younger brother John to make easy money selling patent medicines, and Clarence's general contempt for the era's political corruption and the trappings of organized religion. With Elizabeth Taylor.
