The Family Way

A delightful and affecting portrait of two young newlyweds, trying to make a new family unit in the shadow of the old.Their first taste of married life is proving difficult for Jenny (Hayley Mills - The Parent Trap) and Arthur (Hywel Bennett - Twisted Nerve; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). First their wedding night is ruined by a crude practical joke that makes the bed collapse, the travel agent they hired to plan their honeymoon absconds with their money and they find themselves forced to live for the first few weeks of their marriage in the home of one set of in-laws with little or no privacy. So with these well meaning but interfering parents, nosey neighbours, and a town that thrives on gossip, can their marriage last? Product Description

A Family Classic!

One of my very favorite Hayley Mills films, it also features a tour-de-force performance by her father, John, in the role of her father-in-law.

It's a film about love, romance, companionship, friendship, and sex -- all the components of a good marriage. Beautifully, wittily written, superbly acted, and with a score by Paul McCartney -- what more could one ask? June 1, 2008
