Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
That's Life! is a 1986 American comedy-drama film directed by Blake Edwards and starring Jack Lemmon and Julie Andrews. The film was made independently by Edwards using largely his own finances and was distributed by Columbia Pictures. That's Life! was shot in Edwards and his wife Andrews' own beachside home in Malibu and features their family in small roles, including Edwards' daughter Jennifer Edwards, Andrews' daughter Emma Walton Hamilton and Lemmon's son Chris Lemmon portraying the offspring of Andrews and Lemmon's characters, while the senior Lemmon's wife Felicia Farr portrays the fortune teller Madame Carrie. Because of the film's independent status, many of the cast and crew were paid below union-level wages, resulting in the American Society of Cinematographers picketing the film during production and taking an advertisement in Variety in protest. As a result, the original director of photography, Harry Stradling Jr., was forced to quit the film and was subsequently replaced by Anthony B. Richmond, a British cinematographer.
