5.0 out of 5 stars A celebration of life, love and family., February 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Full of Life [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Judy Holliday is typically adorable as the very modern girl married to a very modern writer who falls in love with his old-fashioned Italian family in spite of herself. After her eyes are opened to the feelings of others--and to the value of tradition--she leads her husband back to church and the whole family back together, all while being cute, funny and very touching. This is a marvelous film for all ages to enjoy together.

4.0 out of 5 stars "The Baby", December 1, 1999

This review is from: Full of Life [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was so excited to see I could find this movie. I am the "baby" at the end of the film. I was born at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica and when the film crew needed a baby they came searching at the hospital. Unlike the "red haired" boy referred to in the movie, I was actually a blonde haired girl. But, what the heck!

This review is from: Full of Life [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A delightful, genuinely heartwarming comedy, starring Judy Holliday and Richard Conte as a young couple about to have a child, yet still struggling to define what their family life will mean to them, and Salvatore Baccaloni as Conte's broadly portrayed Italian Papa. Fans of Judy Holliday will love this film -- she leaves her "dumb blonde" character aside in favor of a much richer role; she gets some great comedic moments in early on, acting out the clumsiness and moodiness of late-term pregnancy, yet also portrays a smart, intuitive young woman who provides the rational and emotional glue which holds her family together. There are a lot of subtle touches to this film; nothing is overplayed or hackneyed, and although it is set in the white-picket fence era of the early '50s, the issues addressed in the script will ring true for many viewers for decades to come. Recommended!
