Sitting Pretty

(1948)Directed by Walter Lang83 minComedy
“Never was a baby-sitter like this!”

Tacey King (Maureen O'Hara) and her husband Harry (Robert Young) have three sons and a house that no sitter will stay in, so Tacey puts an ad in the paper for a live-in. The reply comes from Lynn Belvedere (Clifton Webb), who turns out to be a man, a blunt and brilliant one with a long list of careers behind him. Walter Lang's comedy sets him down in a suburban household and finds out what happens when someone says exactly what he thinks.
