"Family Affair" is a film by the Bell System that is trying to get folks to use their phones more and more effectively. None of this seems necessary today, this story of a family is meant to illustrate how swell phones are and what a great boon they are to mankind. It's all a bit silly and preachy....but it IS a chance to see a young Steve McQueen before he became famous. Otherwise, it's a film that is easy to skip. I'd say more but frankly, in this case it hardly seems worth it and I doubt if anyone (other than me!) would bother with this short industrial film in the first place.
If you DO want to see it, it's on Alpha Video's "Stars in Their Shorts"...a perfectly dreadful collection of craptastic shorts...none of which are worth seeing and "Family Affair" is by far the best of them!! Do yourself a favor...don't buy this one!
