''Full of Life'' (1956) is a dramedy starring Creator/JudyHolliday, Richard Conte, and Salvatore Baccaloni. The film was directed by Richard Quine.

Emily (Holliday) and Nick Rocco (Conte) are expecting their first child. But when their kitchen floor breaks and they need expensive repairs, Nick must visit his family to get his Italian-immigrant father (Baccaloni) to fix it for him.

Nick clashes with his father’s old-world wisdom and meddling while Emily tries to reconcile the two in this sweet comedy about family and generational differences.

*FeelingTheBabyKick: When Nick is looking at a cute number at the train, Emily complains of pain and quips: “Your child just kicked me.”
*PanickyExpectantFather: Nick is of course nervous when Emily goes into labour. Made worse that he’s not even allowed into the delivery room!

*StopBeingStereotypical: Nick seems to be annoyed at his father’s wine-drinking and Catholic antics but also realizes that he also has been fighting his father as a teenager might.
