Father's Little Dividend (1951)





Months after his daughter's wedding, Stanley Banks is finally recovering from the stress of the event when he learns that his daughter and son-in-law are expecting a baby. Initially, he is opposed to the idea, but eventually he comes to accept it. However, conflicts arise between the grandparents on both sides. Despite these issues, they eventually reach a compromise on most matters, and the birth of the baby does not resolve all the problems.
