Till Death Us Do Part
This English follows the East End working-class Garnett family, headed by patriarch Alf, a reactionary working-class man who wields racist and anti-Socialist views. His long-suffering wife Else manages to keep things in control... for the most part. Their progressive daughter Rita lives with them, as does her Irish husband Mike, who, with an array of liberal worldviews, often quarrels with his father-in-law. It inspired the American show "All In The Family" and several other international variations on the same theme.

Undistinguished British farce (in Technicolor and CinemaScope).

Hardly a feminist masterpiece, but fans will relish the nightmare court-martial in which Drake plays all the parts
