Yours, Mine and Ours

“The Bride had 8 Boys and Girls. The Groom had 10 Boys and Girls. Their wedding night set new attendance records.”

Nobody in this house can say how twenty people will ever sit down to one dinner. Frank Beardsley (Henry Fonda), a widower with ten children, marries Helen North (Lucille Ball), a widow with eight, and the two families have to share one roof. Melville Shavelson follows Helen as she tries to turn eighteen children into one household, and she wants it badly enough to take on all of them.
