Named to the National Film Registry in 2007, "Our Day" is a day-in-the-life portrait of the Kelly family of Lebanon, Kentucky. Wallace Kelly's amateur cast was made up of his mother, wife, brother, and pet terrier. The film documents a modern home inhabited by adults with sophisticated interests and simple ones. Kelly, a newspaperman, was also an accomplished photographer, painter, and writer. He began shooting film in 1929 and continued until the 1950s.

Subject: advanced amateur
This fellow had an idea of what he was doing. Especially appreciated his steady camera and lack of wildly panning shots. Expected to see Andy Hardy flying down the stairs. Very enjoyable.

Subject: Well worth the watch
This is well worth the download. Staged, yes but who had film cameras in the 30's. This is a daily ritual movie with a fairly well off family. However a lot of what you will see is very true to life for the middle class of the time.
Great kitchen scenes.

Subject: Our Day is delightful
I really enjoyed watching this 1938 middle class all adult family going through their daily routines. It looked so ideal. Their terrier dog was a charmer. Film is in excellent condition for its age.
