Movie Reviews of Papa's Delicate Condition
Movie Review: Takes me back to my childhood!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a classic movie that I don't think got enough attention in it's time. It focuses on Jackie Gleason who is a railroad supervisor and he has one little problem...he drinks like a fish and ends up spending loads of money on crap that he nor his family need. It does have a good ending and his issues are worked out. I am not sure how the message is received by most folks but I have always enjoyed this movie and when it came out on DVD, I just had to have it.
I still regularly watch this movie even as a 30 year old! If you're a fan of Jackie Gleason, you'll love this heart warming movie.
Summary of Papa's Delicate Condition
Jackie Gleason stars in this warm-hearted look back at one family's larger than life father. Set at the start of the 20th century, Gleason plays Jack Griffith, a gregarious railroad man whose love for his family is rivaled only by his love for the bottle. Griffith's penchant for outrageous behavior, followed up by a more outrageous gift to atone for it, has begun to alienate his wife and oldest daughter, although his youngest still adores her father. Gleason portrays Griffith's "delicate condition" with a mixture of humor and humanity, and the end result is a moving portrait of a family's ups and downs. Gleason's performance of the Academy Award? winning song "Call Me Irresponsible" is not to be missed.Comedy DVD Video
