The third look at one of my favorite movie dads. (#1 and #2)

Nick Longhetti in A Woman Under the Influence

Peter Falk plays a dad who has a lot on his plate. He loves his wife, even with all of her eccentricities, he works hard and he loves his kids. But when his wife’s eccentric side goes too far and she is sent away it’s just him and the kids. One of the most memorable scenes comes when he takes them to the beach and on the ride home let’s them all sip from his beer until they are drunk. This may make him sound awful, but give the film a watch and you’ll see how endearing the scene actually is.
