Life With Father: Powerful adaptation of a long running Broadway play by Howard Lindsay and Russell Crusoe based on Clarence Night’s tale of growing up in turn-of-the-century NYC with his admiring although offbeat dad.

Cast includes William Powell, Irene Dunne, Elizabeth Taylor, Edmund Gwenn, ZaSu Pitts, Jimmy Lydon, and Matlin Milner. (118 minutes,’47)
Alaska: Adolescent venture on a grand scale, as a brother and sister take off looking for their dad and his downed plane.
