When suburban couple Harry and Tacey King (Robert Young and Maureen O'Hara) can no longer handle their three intractable sons alone, they hire a baby-sitter, sight-unseen, through an ad in the paper. Their new employee, Mr. Belvedere (Clifton Webb), turns out to be an eccentric, vegetarian, yoga-practicing genius with vast worldly experience. Mr. Belvedere quickly displays a unique and witty way with the children while also fixing items around the house and cooking delicious meals. But when snooping neighbors begin to spread nasty rumors about the Kings' unusual hired help, the family must team up to save their reputation and their sanity!

Sitting PrettyA few of generations of films buffs have gone by and this superb film has faded into obscurity. Don't believe me? Ask anyone under 40 if they've heard of this title. The transfer, even in HD is less than stellar but the sound is good. This is probably the funniest, sleaziest, most witty film ever made! The dialog is beyond excellent. Character development is super and your dying to know what's going to happen next in every scene! This film was very successful at the time and spawned a whole series of sequels that were fun but not as great as this first one. I wish this film could be given a proper restoration, meanwhile do yourself a favor, buy it and discover how great film writing can be!.Score: 5/5

Italiano
In una cittadina degli Usa, una famigliola troppo vivace non riesce a tenere una persona di servizio. Finalmente arriva Elia Belvedere, che pare avere ogni virtù domestica e che in più scrive libri. Ma si tratta di un uomo. Vorrebbero cacciarlo, ma per contratto sono obbligati a tenerlo. A un certo punto, il "governante" desta i sospetti del marito e le chiacchiere poco benevole dei vicini. Ma tutto si aggiusterà.

Español
Tacey y Harry King, acaban de quedarse sin niñera para sus tres traviesos chicos. Cualquier otro intento de hacerse a una nueva babysitter resulta frustrado... hasta que a Tacey (Maureen O'Hara), se le ocurre poner un anuncio en el periódico que pronto recibe respuesta de Lynn Belvedere, pero, cuando ellos esperan a una eficiente joven, llega un elegante caballero (Clifton Webb) que traerá consigo un montón de cambios y sorpresas. Entonces, este genio, hará que Harry (Robert Young) conozca los celos y otras cosas de su propia personalidad. Y entre tanto, los cotillas de Hummingbird Hill, tendrán otro espacio para inmiscuirse

Deutsch
Als das Ehepaar Tacey und Harry King für seine Kinder einen Babysitter sucht, wird die Anzeige in der Zeitung von einem Kandidaten namens Lynn Belvedere beantwortet. Man erwartet ein Kindermädchen, doch dann stellt sich heraus, daß es sich bei Lynn Belvedere um einen Mann handelt. Er scheint ein Mann mit tausenden Talenten zu sein, wobei der Grund für die Annahme dieses Jobs allerdings ein ganz simpler ist: Er will Recherchen für einen Roman anstellen.

Français
Tacey et Harry King sont un couple de banlieue avec trois fils et un sérieux besoin d'une baby-sitter. Tacey met une annonce dans le journal pour une baby-sitter en direct dans, et l'annonce par Lynn a répondu Belvedere. Mais quand elle arrive, elle se révèle être un homme. Et pas seulement un homme, mais un plus excentrique, le génie outrageusement franc avec apparemment un million de carrière et d'expériences derrière lui.

Pусский
Сюжет фильма простой и жизненный. Есть американская семья с тремя детьми, три из которых мальчики от двух до семи лет. И бешеный дог. Ни одна няня не берется за такой «бедлам», и тут совершенно случайно на горизонте появляется «усатый бебиситтер». Дальше все понятно - дети ходят по струнке, собака вообще не высовывается. Однако сюжетная линия не только о воспитании, а о вопросах и задачах в семье, плюс вплетена интрига, которая развязывается в конце.

The Blue BirdDrama1940

Visually beautiful, full of imaginative sets, and splendidly photographed in rich Technicolor, this enchanting fantasy was Twentieth Century Fox's answer to "The Wizard of Oz". In a rare departure from her usual screen persona, Shirley plays a selfish, spoiled little girl named Mytyl, who doesn't appreciate her loving family. Only after a good fairy sends her and her brother (Johnny Russell) on a journey to find "the bird that means happiness" does she end up discovering happiness right in her own home.

There's No Business Like Show BusinessRomance1954

An all-star cast that includes Ethel Merman, Dan Dailey, Marilyn Monroe, Donald O'Connor, Johnnie Ray and Mitzi Gaynor sparks this tuneful Irving Berlin musical that depicts the trials and triumphs of a veteran vaudeville family. Molly (Merman) and Terry (Dailey) Donahue start out as a duo and keep adding kids to the act until they finally become the 5 Donahues. Their busy, sometimes tumultuous lives aren't always easy, but the Donahues have plenty of love to get them through the hard times and more than enough talent to keep them on top. Highlighted by one classic Irving Berlin song after another and an array of dazzling production numbers, this upbeat, utterly delightful tale of life on the stage proves, beyond and doubt, that there's no business like show business!

Cheaper By the Dozen summary, synopsis, reviews
Cheaper By the DozenDrama1950

This colorful depiction of life in a family of 12 children stars Clifton Webb as Frank Bunker Gilbreth, an eccentric father who prides himself on some truly unorthodox child-rearing methods. Based on the bestseller by two children of the real Mr. Gilbreth, this charming film co-starring Myrna Loy is "alive with big laughs" (Los Angeles Times). Narrated by the oldest daughter (Jeanne Crain), the story follows a series of family crises over the years: from how the children over-whelmed their new school's administration office, to the time they threw a hospital into chaos when they arrived for a mass tonsillectomy. There's even a memorable encounter with a birth control advocate. Simultaneously hilarious and sentimental, "Cheaper by the Dozen is a family comedy in the truest sense.

Desk Set summary, synopsis, reviews
Desk SetComedy1957

Based on the Broadway play by Robert Fryer and Lawrence Carr, Desk Set is the sixth screen teaming of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. Hepburn plays Bunny Watson, the head of a TV network research department; Tracy plays Richard Sumner, an efficiency expert hired to modernize Watson's operation. When Sumner has a huge computer installed, Watson and her co-workers (including Joan Blondell and Sue Randall) fear that they're going to lose their jobs. Their suspicions are confirmed when the computer merrily begins issuing pink termination slips. Something is obviously amiss: the computer not only fires the ladies, but also the head of the network, and Sumner, who isn't even on the company payroll! Summer explains that the computer was designed to help Watson and her staff and not replace them; he also confesses that, given the pink-slip incident, this might not have been such a hot idea. Watson, who has fallen in love with Sumner, is in just the right mood to forgive him.
