It was a thoroughly entertaining match played in blistering heat and it was a credit to both teams and the officials that they could maintain a high level of performance throughout the game.

 BBC - Comedy Guide - Life With The Lyons
Life With The Lyons followed immediately and differed from most family sitcoms in that it was peopled by an actual family, with children Richard and Barbara Lyon re-creating their real-life selves, and the stories merely exaggerated, albeit in a humorous fashion, true events.
In the TV series, as with the radio version, Molly Weir was cast as the Lyons' housekeeper Aggie MacDonald, Doris Rogers was their nosey next-door neighbour Florrie Wainwright, and, in the BBC TV run, Horace Percival appeared as the nebulous Mr Wimple.
Indeed, such was the degree of accuracy that when, in real life, the Lyons moved home from Marble Arch to Holland Park, the third ITV series also had them in a new home, the studio sets matching reality as closely as possible, right down to colour schemes, decorations and furniture.

 Amazon.com: Howard Hughes' Hell's Angels: DVD: Ben Lyon,James Hall,Jean Harlow,John Darrow,Lucien Prival,Frank Clarke ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The movie's other bombshell, Jean Harlow, fairly jumps off the screen as an upper-class floozy who plays fast and loose with the two leading men, RFC pilots Monte and Roy Rutledge (Ben Lyon and James Hall), one a scoundrel and one a saint.
Ben Lyon is the only lead performer whose acting seems fairly modern and somewhat natural while the other male leads are still stuck in that strange, stilted early-talkie mode (the film was begun as a silent and morphed into a talkie over a two-year shoot spanning 1928-1930).
The biggest flaw is the ridiculous stereotypical portrayal of the German commanders as sadistic Huns straight out of a WWI propaganda film; this is the most dated element in what remains, given the period in which it was produced, an amazingly entertaining film, beautifully restored in its current DVD incarnation by UCLA film restoration experts.

Director William A. Wellman hasn't done much with this chaotic subject [from the novel by Dora Macy] other than to slip through a few laughs in the slang dialog between the two nurses, who are a couple of pretty well-baked femmes when they start, and thereby cut short their chances for sympathy.

While the soapy melodramatic love story surrounding a teenaged Jean Harlow and the two Rutledge brothers played by Ben Lyon and James Hall was corny, the aviation sequences were wondrously breathtaking.
While the dialogue is corny and dated and some of the actors (especially the male stars) overact bigtime, the brilliant mixture of color and fl-and-white photography, the beauty of Jean Harlow in rare color footage, and the unbelievable aerial combat scenes make this an absolute must for any Jean Harlow fan or history buff!
