	Probably Steve McQueen's first acting role on screen. Billed as Stephen McQueen.
	"Family Affair" is a 27 minute "infomercial" demonstrating the convenience of having multiple phones in the house by telling a little story about a family coping with only one. Stephen McQueen plays "Freddie", a rather goofy, love-sick sailor trying to reach his girl to tell her he has leave and to propose to her. He has four scenes.
	The photo in Neile's book (My Husband, My Friend) of Steve in a sailor suit, which she says was his first acting job, is from this film. Although she calls it a "Signal Corps" film, it's a "Bell System Presentation, Western Electric Recording". J Pat O'Malley is the star.
	Reviewed by Donna Redden Screencaps from her own personal 16mm copy of the film.
