Decades may pass, but The Courtship of Eddie's Father never loses any of its abundant charm. Long before he became an Oscar®-winning director, 8-year-old "Ronny" Howard (then appearing on TV's The Andy Griffith Show) costarred with Glenn Ford in this heartwarming family classic, later adapted into a TV series (1969-72) starring Bill Bixby and Brandon Cruz. While the later show adopted a hip, late-'60s sensibility, this 1963 production is more straight-laced and, for its time, remarkably frank--and disarmingly funny--about the many questions that precocious son Eddie (Howard) has for his widower father (Ford) as they recover from the death of wife and mother. A perfect director for this delicate material (wonderfully adapted from Mark Toby's novel), Vincente Minnelli hits all the right notes of sadness, hope, and parental concern; Ford's unspoken love for a helpful neighbor (Shirley Jones) may be a foregone conclusion, but romantic subplots (and Eddie's diligent matchmaking) add plenty of domestic drama. Sweet but never saccharine, this timeless Courtship is guaranteed to make you smile. --Jeff Shannon

In this movie, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, Ron Howard plays the part of a young boy who has lost his Mom. Although he would like his Dad, Glenn Ford, to find a new wife, Eddie believes there are specific physical traits a Mom should not have. "Slitty eyes and big breasts" are one one way to identify an evil Mom, according to Eddie! There are many laughable moments in this movie, but just as many tender conversations between Eddie and his Dad. You will remember the parts Ron Howard played in ... Read More

I think this movie was made before Ron Howard played the role of "Opie Taylor" on the Andy Griffith Show, regardless, he is ADORABLE in this movie. He plays the role very well as a little boy growing up without a mother as he tries to fix his father up with dates. It like an earlier version of Sleepless in Seattle. It's a good wholesome "family" movie to watch.

This is a wonderful movie...showcasing Ronny Howard's adorable self to great advantage. It's a good example of the era...a classic...with all the cinematic quirks and attributes of the times.
Rating:  -
Great Glenn Ford movie. Crisp colors and a real good print. See a young Ken Howard.

This being one of my two favorite shows from this era (the other being Eight is Enough), I wish that the powers that be would release the TV series on DVD. I would purchase it immediately. No questions asked. What a wonderful, sweet series this was. I noticed that people were requesting that the distributors produce the Eight is Enough series on DVD in the Comments section when I tried to locate it as well, which gave me the idea to do that for this series here. To whom it may concern and who may ... Read More
