Gregory Peck is trying to do the right thing in this film. He is spending time with his wife and kids, but as far as the kids go it isn't helping much. They ignore him and stare at the TV. I think they would just as soon he put in those extra hours at work he is trying to avoid. It doesn't appear that Gregory Peck is going to have any more luck with his kids than his boss had with his daughter.

How on earth is this different from any other kids? How many stop playing video games to hang out with Dad these days? And it wasn't until fairly recently that men were even expected to spend time with their kids. That was the mother's job. Men were expected to be good providers and work all the time.
The people you idolize wouldn't like you.
