I'm a great fan of Cary Grant. He's one of my favorite actors and I was fortunate to meet him in October 1986 in Dallas, Texas, at the Princess Grace Foundation Gala. He was as charming in person as he is on the silver screen.
I love Cary Grant's movies and "Father Goose" is by far one of his funniest and most underrated.
The first time I saw this movie was December 1965 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, NY, with my parents, brother and sister.
We waited 3 1/2 hours in line to get into the theater and my Dad kept running to get hot chocolate for all of us to help keep warm. But the wait was well worth it!
We saw a beautiful rendition of the Nativity Show on the stage with real animals - sheep, camels, etc. Then the Rockettes came out and did their Wooden Soldiers routine and a group of singers sang the song "More'. The stage show was awesome!
Then "Father Goose" was shown and I remember everyone just laughing and laughing through the whole movie! Especially my Dad - he laughed the most! It is one of my fondest Christmas memories.
I just watched this movie again last night and still laughed out loud! It's timeless - Cary Grant, Leslie Caron, the children and the whole cast are excellent!
If you want to see a good, fun family film, this is the one to see!
