A Date with Your Family Outtakes Christine Hennig 2002-10-05 00:00:00 2002-10-05 00:00:00 3 1926 A total find, these outtakes from the classic social guidance film, "Date With Your Family" show some bloopers, flub ups, and one particulariy interesting deleted scene of "daughter" washing dishes, getting tired and wiping the sweat off of her brow. One wonders what kind of narration would have went with this scene "Daughter takes care of the dishes, father demands her to do it, and you can tell it takes a toll on her, still, to keep her father happy, she continues on, like a robot..'

I must admit I was under the impression that parts of my family did live this way and the choices I was making as an adolescent in the 80's were completely irresponsible!! This type of influence created a generation of stiff, emotionally unresponsive individuals that have only managed to confuse and alienate the children they raised! Thankfully, this movement did not take affect and we live in a society where you can ask Dad for a raise in your allowance without the concern of added stress because he's had a busy day.

Where are these people today? The parents have passed on I'm sure, but the kids are probably still out there. Fun To Watch Pleonic 2007-09-09 01:33:53 2007-09-09 01:33:53 4 4 4.00
