Cheaper by the Dozen (1950) Rated NR

A husband and wife find humorous methods in dealing with their 12 children. Based on the book by Frank B. Gilbreth. Starring Clifton Webb, Jeanne Crain, and Myrna Loy.

This film is based on the true story of the Gilbreth family. There are hilarous moments as the parents try to fight back at the changing times compared to their children. That’s something all parents tend to fight against. The film does have the conservative morals of the 1950s, since it was filmed in the 1950s, but it covered the 1920s life of the family. The actors Webb and Loy are brilliant and contrast well as the parents of 12 children who are more normal than kids in today’s films. This film is worth the watch.
