About Yours Mine & Ours

Predating The Brady Bunch by almost a decade, Yours, Mine, and Ours is a screwball comedy about the ultimate blended family. When the widow Helen North (Lucille Ball) marries the widower Frank Beardsley (Henry Fonda), the two must find a place to house their 18--count 'em, 18!--kids (she had 8, he had 10). Based on a real-life couple, the film details the nuances of everyday life in a house overrun with children. From getting all the kids ready for school to sending off an older son to war, this well-written film is wholesome entertainment that doesn't condescend. Look for the very young Tracy Nelson as Germaine. --Jenny Brown Amazon.com

This is my wife's all time favorite movie. She had used the VCR version she had for the past few decades so I finally just bought her this DVD. She loves it on DVD! April 7, 2008

I'm usually not impressed by many movies and after seeing the new version of this movie I almost gave this old gem a miss. It's truly one of a kind. Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda are amazing as two harried single parents of 8 and 10 children respectively- but that's nothing to how harried they are about to become when they combine their brood of 18! This movie doesn't feel dated at all, it moves along fast and is full of humor.Perfect for families of all sizes :) I'd reccomend this movie to anyone! February 10, 2008

I've seen this DVD several times, and I think I laugh more every time. There are points where it brings tears to my eyes too. I recently watched it after watching the 2005 remake of the movie. This one is better, hands down. Some reviewers have said that this movie has kids talking back to their parents and lack of discipline. They should see the remake! Sure, this one is dated, it was made in 1968. Still, it is wholesome family entertainment. December 24, 2007
