As I discovered only this year, you won't & can't truly appreciate the emotional impact of this film until losing your own father. It's only then that the brilliant performances & piercing insights, which you might have felt intellectually & emotionally, strike home at a visceral level.
Which isn't to say that such a loss is required before viewing. Far from it! While this is clearly a universal story, it's told with very specific characters. You come to know & understand ... Read More

I watched "I Never Sang for my Father" for the first time today and it surprized me that I hadn't seen it before. This is an excellent movie that deals with a real issue in many families. The issue is adult father/son relationships and how individuals involved handle their changing roles. The roles don't need to transpose themselves although this sometimes happens as parents reach advanced age.

I saw this movie in the Mercury theater in Middleburg Heights, Ohio in 1970 when it was first released. It was the first movie I ever saw that featured Gene Hackman, and I was just blown away.

To make a long story short, it is a story of two men, father ... Read More

I had to give it four stars because in truth INSFMF is somewhat haphazardly directed, but the acting is out of this world. Melvin Douglas is watchable in just about anything, but he really gives one astounding performance here, as do the rest of the cast.
The film rather unflinchingly looks at a strained father & son relationship brought to a head by the mother's death and fathers advancing senility. I think the script does a good job of showing how both parents and children are profoundly flawed ... Read More

What a masterpiece and view into the lives of a father and son and their ambivalent and painful relationship. Anyone watching this film will recognize these characters as being so much like relatives, friends or acquaintances. You find yourself applauding "Gene's" sister "Alice" when she opens up to her brother and gives him the advice he so needs but doesn't want to heed because of his deep desire to have a close relationship with his maddening and impossible father. This is a film that you'd love to have others ... Read More
