So, Baby Daze is this interesting little 1939 comedy that kind of sneaks up on you. The main character, Edgar, starts off as a real grump, just laying into people, but then you see this transformation as he finds out his wife is pregnant. It’s a blend of humor and warmth that feels pretty genuine, and the pacing isn’t rushed, allowing those transitions to land well. The performances have that classic charm - not overly done, just enough to feel relatable. You get some neat practical effects, too, even if they’re not the focus. It’s a snapshot of that era’s comedic style, with a heart that’s surprisingly sweet.
Baby Daze has had a bit of a rough time regarding format availability; it’s not exactly easy to find in good condition. Most collectors are still on the lookout for decent prints, be they VHS or DVD, since the original releases have become quite scarce. There's a niche but growing interest in this film because of its unique blend of humor and heart, making it a curious piece for those diving into 1930s comedies.
