Father Came Too!

About This Movie

So, 'Father Came Too!' is a quirky comedy from '64 that really captures that charm of British humor of the time. You've got Dexter and Juliet, freshly married and looking to escape Juliet's father, which is a pretty relatable theme. They buy this dilapidated cottage, thinking they can fix it up, but the reality hits hard when the repairs turn into a chaotic adventure. The pacing has that delightful slow burn, and the performances are filled with a kind of earnestness that makes you root for them despite their missteps. It’s not groundbreaking, but it manages to create this warm, almost nostalgic atmosphere that pulls you in, especially for anyone who appreciates the period's comedic style.

This film is a bit of a hidden gem among collectors, often overshadowed by more prominent titles of the era. Its availability on home media has been quite limited, making original prints and posters sought after by enthusiasts. The blend of situational comedy and the domestic challenges presented resonate with collectors who appreciate the quirks of British cinema from the 60s.
