Family Honeymoon **** (1948, Claudette Colbert, Fred MacMurray, Rita Johnson) – Classic Movie Review 10,665

Director Claude Binyon’s 1949 screwball comedy Family Honeymoon stars Claudette Colbert as widowed Katie, a new bride who brings the three kids from her previous marriage along on the honeymoon, perplexing new stepdaddy Grant Jordan (Fred MacMurray), a bachelor botany professor, who understandably doesn’t like being called ‘that man’.

Family Honeymoon is infectiously amiable, deliciously lighthearted – and yes lightweight too – entertainment with everything it needs – wit, speed and charisma, plus two delightful stars, who work well together. Super.

It was advertised as ‘Those grand Egg and I stars’.
