William Bendix (who did say "What a revoltin'
development," had a TV show called "The Life
of Riley," not "Life With Father." He used the
line on his radio show of the same name in
the Forties, and it was a universal cliché of
the war years.
"Life With Father" was first a huge Broadway hit
play in 1939, then a 1947 movie with William
Powell and Irene Dunne, and then a TV show
from 1953 to 1955, with Leon Ames and Lurene
Tuttle. It was based on memoirs written by
Clarence Day Jr. about his father (logically
enough).

Richard and List,
The character actor, famous in my time, William Bendix, star of the
50's television show "Life with Father" originated and used as his
signature line " what a revoltin development " in every weekly
episode.
I will bet a nice unclassified Nevada individual (recent find) against
whatever anyone wants to put up that I'm right. First person that
proves me wrong gets the prize. Proof has to be third party published
material, so we can all see it.
Have fun,
Count Deiro

Nah,
Yesterday I thought a cartoon character, but this morning seeing
Carl's response, all I could hear was Jimmy Durante speaking those
words...
