'Bringing Up Father' is a 1928 American silent comedy film directed by Jack Conway and starring Marie Dressler, Polly Moran, and J. Farrell MacDonald.[http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/B/BringingUpFather1928.html Progressive Silent Film List: 'Bringing Up Father'] at silentera.com The film was based on the newspaper comic strip 'Bringing Up Father' by George McManus. It was remade in 1946 as a sound film, proving popular enough for a spin-off of four Jiggs and Maggie films to be made.Drew p. 170[http://www.afi.com/members/catalog/DetailView.aspx?s=&Movie=3044 The AFI Catalog of Feature Films: 'Bringing Up Father']
