'Strictly for pinheads'

With all due respect, Mr. Thompson is the pinhead. This film, like "Mr. Hobbs Takes A Vacation" and "Dear Bridgette (?)" take special advantage of Jimmy Stewart's unique comedic talents. They were excellent parts for this time in his life. Unlike the great David Niven in "Impossible Years", he pulls off the harried father role and remains likeable and sympathetic. Niven's harried father comes across as a hypocritical prude. This was the writing, not Niven's acting. Almost fifty years later, "Take Her She's Mine" is still very enjoyable with Robert Morley delivering some hysterical dialogue regarding his character's children. If you didn't like this, you probably just didn't get Jimmy Stewart. That's all right. It's a foreign concept in 2012 that parents cared enough about their almost grown children to try to keep them on the straight and narrow. It doesn't translate at all into modern thought, but it was pretty normal stuff at the time.
