趣闻
The Courtship of Eddie's Father is a 1963 American romantic comedy-drama film directed by Vincente Minnelli, starring Glenn Ford as Tom Corbett, a widowed father, and Ronny Howard as the titular son. The film is based on the 1961 novel of the same name by Mark Toby. The film was subsequently adapted into a television series with Bill Bixby and Brandon Cruz, which aired on ABC from 1969 to 1972.
Production
The film rights to the novel were purchased by MGM prior to publication for $100,000 in 1961. The Chicago Tribune called the novel "deeply moving, and at the same time, very funny."
Producer Joe Pasternak assigned John Gay to write the script and hired Glenn Ford to star. Shirley Jones accepted her role in part because she did not have to sing.
Roberta Sherwood, a nightclub singer and TV entertainer, made her film debut.
Pasternak says he interviewed hundreds of children to play Eddie but as soon as he talked to Ronny Howard, "I knew he was right."
The bowling alley sequence was filmed at the now defunct Paradise Bowl, located at 9116 South Sepulveda Boulevard in Los Angeles (two miles north of LAX).
