Review of Elopement

Elopement (1951)
8/10
Classic Boy Meets Girl and Gets Family
8 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This was a very enjoyable, fun, "hokey" movie, classic 50's era. The entire family gets into the relationship but not lousing things up as seen in so many other films. Nice to see a movie with a smart, only child. People with only children will see the similarities. There are many funny parts, just down to earth "I am in your business" funny. A good stress free popcorn movie. Had a good ending-no bloodshed-no getting sued/divorced-everybody left happy. Things you don't see in today's movies. If you enjoy the "Father Knows Best" type of household you will enjoy this film. Yours, Mine and Ours and Cheaper By the Dozen are along the same lines.
