...Family" is a comedy, a straightforward he-man affair, with no subtlety, no Arlenesque sophistication. The players all say what they mean, and they inflect their voices in such a manner that there can be no possible doubt about the words meaning just what they do in the dictionary.

The chief culprit is round, thick, heartily self-satisfied E. Wesson Woodbury, village fatboy grown up to hosiery sales-manager, who backslaps his tired little lawyer-friend Ralph Prescott into taking a canoe trip to Mantrap Landing, upper Canada, and then bully-rags...
