George McManus' long-running domestic comic strip Bringing Up Father was brought to the screen by William Randolph Hearst's Cosmopolitan Pictures. Reportedly, Hearst had approached vaudeville's Three Keatons (Joe, Myra and young Buster) to star in this project back in 1916, but Joe Keaton hated films and turned the newspaper mogul down flat.

PUNQ

Rated 06 Oct 2015

Can't really go wrong with a Marie Dressler comedy, but this was a little too lowbrow. Got good help from Polly Moran & J. Farrell MacDonald, but the material was only so-so for Bringing Up Father (1928).
