Cheaper By The Dozen
20th Century Fox, 1950
This a true story based on a novel by Frank B. Gilbreth Jr and his sister Ernstine Gilbreth Carey. It is about the authors' father a motion study expert. Mr. Gilbreth (Clifton Webb) has 12 children and gives them a firm but kind upbringing. He also is a little too old fashioned, which his eldest daughters find discouraging, considering they want to cut their hair, wear fashionable clothes and wear makeup. This is a good story of a family which you can relate to.
In this movie Jeanne Crain is the oldest daughter.
