"Timothy Lawler and family have produced another family picture, this time a day at the zoo. We are permitted to relive the pleasures and problems of providing for a lively group of children who seem too anxious to get into some sort of mischief. And they do. Those of us who have seen his earlier pictures will very much appreciate another visit with the family. We suddenly realize that the children are getting larger and others have moved in to refill the younger spots. A delightful family picture for all to enjoy." PSA Journal, Nov. 1957, 32.
The Examiner's Dilemma is situation comedy in color. These 11 minutes of entertainment by Kevin Keelaghan of Los Angeles covers all the phases of male thinking in spite of what's at home. It's about a day in the life of an examiner of applicants for driver's licenses. That in itself is funny—but Kevin adds a few little twists of his own," PSA Journal, Mar. 1970, 43.

"Among the pictures awarded Honorable Mention is An Evening at Home, by Arthur E. Ojeda, ACL, a rare achievement in film planning — the family picture of interest outside the family. In it the father arrives home from his work and is greeted by the children. Soon, after the bedtime story, they toddle off upstairs, leaving the domestic stage clear for the grownups' dinner and the subsequently arriving neighbors. There follow a shaker of friendly drinks and a session of jigsaw puzzling after which the guests depart. The last lights go out and the film is over. Mr Ojeda's treatment of this theme is clearly sequenced, told without titles and mostly in closeups. Honorable mention was well deserved by the definite interest which he brought to the subject. With more perfect technical execution, an even greater honor might have been won by this family film." Movie Makers, Dec. 1934, 546.
