Another
film in which Hollywood greats have more kids than they know what to do
with, YOURS, MINE, AND OURS was a big hit with family audiences and
comedy fans. Setting the stage for television's The Brady Bunch, the
film finds widowed Lucille Ball falling for career Navy man Henry Fonda,
each afraid to tell the other that they have numerous children from
previous marriages. Navy know-how and motherly
love combine to take charge of a household of over a dozen! It's
domestic comedy done epic scale! This film came along near the end of
Lucy's full-time career, and it's a high note. Fonda would have a few
more shining achievements, but after this largely settled for character
parts in films like MIDWAY and METEOR. YOURS, MINE, AND OURS, as well as
the earlier CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN, was recently remade.
