This story is taken from the real-life marriage of two people in the early 1960s. Helen North (Lucille Ball) is a widow with eight children who falls in love with Naval officer Frank Beardsley (Henry ... read more read more...Fonda), a widower with ten children of his own. The two marry as comedy ensues from the sheer numbers and diverse age groups of the offspring. Narration is used in the first half of the film to help set the stage for the impending nuptials. Van Johnson is the mutual friend who brings the couple together. Tom Bosley plays the harried doctor who makes a house call and finds almost two dozen patients under one roof. The newlyweds are soon off to the hospital when Helen becomes pregnant with the couple's first child in this amusing family comedy. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

    Entertaining movie. Unbelievable that this is based on a real couple. It's truly captivating as well as humorous in the daily life of this huge family.

    Another case, folks, where remakes should be considered for eight or nine years before studios decide to do them. Sticking to the original is almost always a good decision. This one is gold.

    It was a sweet mix of Cheaper by the Dozen and the Brady Bunch.

    This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I don't know what exactly it is about this movie, but it's just so classic.

    I don't know if it's the fact that the pair are both widowed or maybe it's the beautiful old swinging San Francisco of the 1960s or the way the families i... read morenitially hate each other but by the end, grow to love and protect one another, but whatever it is, this movie's got me.

    I watch this usually about once a year just to sit back and enjoy it. Oh, did I mention it has Ben Murphy in it?

    THIS is a good movie. No one seems to know about it, but oh how they know of the remake... Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda are wonderful together.

    No one makes films like they use to. :(

Well this is one time that you will not want to trade places with the charaters! A great comedy staring my favorite zany red head, Lucille Ball and Hen... read morery Fonda. Wonderful Comedy.

The too cutesy story is almost saved by stars Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda, who are perfect as the mature awkward seekers of a second love. Full Review
