Father's Doing Fine

Father's Doing Fine

Based on Noel Langley's play Little Lambs Eat Ivy (a title inspired by Milton Drake's 1943 novelty hit), Father's Doing Fine charts the comic adventures of an impoverished upper-class family consisting of a widowed mother and her four daughters. The love affairs of the two unmarried daughters, some worthless shares, a thieving butler, the unpaid rent, the matrimonial difficulties of a third daughter and the approaching "accouchement" of the eldest provide the story.

Featuring Richard Attenborough as a frantic father-to-be and Heather Thatcher as straitened matriarch Lady Buckering, this star-studded domestic comedy is presented here in a brand new transfer from the original film elements, in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

First released: Monday 10th November 2014
