The Happy Time (1952)
High praise for this portrayal of delightful eccentricity

I just wanted to assure Roncee that this movie holds up thru multiple viewngs over decades! For fans of the period-setting, it's a wonderful antidote to the sentimentality of "I Remember Mama," and Kurt Kazner's drunken lout is far more entertaining than Oskar Homolka's curmodgeonly Uncle Chris. Take special note of director Richard Fleischer's range: everything from "Dr. Doolittle" to the ultra-creepy "10 Rillington Place." In view of his parentage though, prodigious talent is no surprise -- his pop was Max (Betty Boop et al.) Fleischer! Also recommended to fans of this film is the obscure but fabulous Beatrice Lily comedy, "On Approval."
