Rex Reed New York Daily News There is nothing like The Royal Family. It sparkles and shines with craftsmanship, bristles with a thousand details, moves and darts from wisecrack to touching wisdom and insight, leaving the audience breathless with anticipation and fulfillment. Feb 25, 2025 Full Review Mark Bourne DVDJournal.com So while the Kaufman-Ferber script is just a crème de menthe, this particular revival of the 1927 hit is a fine example of how to faithfully bring a stage production to the screen.
