Drop-Out Father
DirectorDon Taylor
“When they don't understand you at home or at work, stress strikes!”
Successful advertising executive decides to get out of the rat race but the family rebels at the new lifestyle he outlines. He and his youngest daughter leave the suburbs for a Manhattan loft apartment while the rest of the brood -- wife and three kids -- re-evaluate the situation. For his engaging score, Peter Matz won an Emmy Award nomination.
