action

Widowed United States Navy officer Frank Beardsley has ten children. He is transferred from an aircraft carrier to a base, where he meets the also widowed nurse Helen North, who has eight children and works at the same naval base. Frank and Helen are interested in each other, to which the actions of Darrel Harrison contribute, who sees them as a suitable couple and which is why they keep bumping into each other.

Frank's children try to destroy the relationship. They mix a cocktail ( screwdriver ) for Helen, after consuming it she behaves strangely. Frank forces the guilty to apologize. Then he announces the upcoming wedding. The upcoming honeymoon is canceled due to the illness of one of the children, which is why everyone immediately moves into the, basically decrepit, large house.

The new family now faces the new challenges of everyday life that they now have to overcome together. The shopping, bathroom plans, etc. The Beardsleys still see Helen as an intruder. This only changes when Helen Frank, although he wanted to refuse in favor of his family, refuses to take another trip on an aircraft carrier, and Frank's eldest son finds out during his parole that Helen is pregnant, which impresses him and reconciles the two families.

So that all children have the same name, Frank adopts the children of his wife, who in turn adopts his children. In the end, Mike Beardsley, Frank's eldest son, reports to the United States Marine Corps .

Reviews

Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of May 24, 1968 that the comedy contained no social criticism. It is a “really amusing family film” and will serve its purpose (“as a genuinely amusing family film, it will do nicely”). Lucille Ball is a master of visual gags.

The lexicon of international films wrote: “Handcrafted, well-developed family comedy that aims for a quick happy ending. Behind the at first sight harmless and unrealistic fable reveals the more than conservative ideology that fathers and sons serve the fatherland as soldiers, while mothers and daughters have to take care of the household and the (over) rich offspring . "

Awards

The film for Best Picture - Comedy or Musical and Lucille Ball for Best Actress - Comedy or Musical were nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 1969. Lucille Ball and the film for best entertainment film received the Laurel Award in 1968 ; Henry Fonda came third in the underlying survey. The screenwriters were nominated for the 1969 Writers Guild of America Award .

backgrounds

The film is based on the true story of Frank Beardsley and Helen North in Carmel , California , who married in September 1961 with heavy media coverage. Appearances of the couple on TV talk shows and advertising contracts followed. In 1965 Helen Beardsley wrote the book "Who gets the Drumstick", in which she described the life of the family of 22. It caught the attention of Lucille Ball, whose Desilu Studios acquired the film rights and released the film three years later.

The film was in Alameda ( California ) and San Francisco rotated. Its production amounted to an estimated 2.5 million US dollars . The film grossed approximately $ 26 million in US cinemas to date. The plot was remade in 2005 as yours, mine & ours with Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo .
