Great movie, will buy.

TV show? Would love it but seems like a very long shot.

Who will be the next Mrs. Corbett? Will it be the chic designer? The Miss Montana Pageant hopeful? The headstrong lady across the hall? It's a big decision for any boy to make for his recently divorced Dad. Like father, like son. You'll like 'em both when renowned child actor Ronny Howard portrays Eddie, and Glenn Ford is his Dad. Vincente Minnelli (Father of the Bride, Gigi) directs, using his flair for vivid colors and balancing the film's humor with the real sense of loss a family feels over a loved one's passing. Shirley Jones, Dina Merrill, and Stella Stevens portray the prospects under Eddie's self-appointed scrutiny. The amiable Courtship continued years later with a same-titled TV series starring Bill Bixby.

Great news! I noticed that DVD extra was missing but figured it wasn't being included on the blu-ray because it couldn't be cleared for whatever reason like the Diane Lane interview from the A Little Romance DVD which was supposed to be on the blu-ray but was dropped at the last minute.

Dragon78 · 04-19-2023, 11:14 AM

Cool, it has feature commentary.

Areyakiddin · 04-26-2023, 07:27 PM

Up for preorder on Amazon for $24.98.

ArnoldLayne56 · 05-25-2023, 06:23 AM

Paying up for this one instead of waiting several months! $19.99 now at Amazon.

GoCeltics · 06-13-2023, 02:00 AM

I'm waiting for the inevitable drop to 17.99 on Amazon.

Randy Miller III · 06-21-2023, 05:54 PM

That's where it's sitting right now! Pick it up if you haven't already.
This is a great disc, as outlined in my belated site review with 25 screenshots.

The Courtship of Eddie's Father Blu-ray Review

Caught this on Turner Classic Movies yesterday and it was wonderful. Will be waiting for a sale but I will definitely be getting this. Ronny Howard is a great child actor. He brought so much to his role.

ToonySpoonGoon · 08-04-2023, 11:56 PM

Minnelli one of the best, i hope this one gets marked down soon I love it

BluPat · 08-12-2023, 04:25 AM

Got this for $14 even on Amazon and just watched it. Wonderful movie. Glenn Ford is always good and Ron Howard was an amazing child actor! He was terrific. Loved Shirley Jones too. Love this movie.

ArnoldLayne56 · 12-12-2023, 03:12 PM

$10.49 @ Amazon.
Can't believe this one is so low compared to some WAC ...

SammymeBlu · 12-25-2023, 03:09 AM

$8.99 @ Amazon

I had no idea that Ronnie Howard was in this. Obviously this movie lead up to the TV series in 1969.
