REVIEW: 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 humour and humanity, and the end result is a moving portrait of a family’s ups and downs.
