NEVER ending film comparing the family of 1880 to the family of today. Although this film exposes some facts of the family of today we may giggle at, eg, the father staying home with the fellas to play bridge while mother goes to her women's group meeting. This film is pretty ho-hum in a lot of places, and made me shrug my shoulders in the end.
