Although he's only seven, Eddie's got it all figured out. He wants his father, a widower, to get remarried — to the girl next door. Unfortunately, she's not one of the women that his dad's been dating.
The Courtship of Eddie's Father is a 1963 American romantic comedy film directed by Vincente Minnelli, and stars Glenn Ford as Tom Corbett, a widowed father and Ronny Howard as the titular son. The film was taken from a 1961 novel by Mark Toby. The film was subsequently adapted into a television series of the same title with Bill Bixby and Brandon Cruz, which ran from 1969 to 1972 on ABC.
