"High Comedy." - The Hollywood Reporter

In this touching yet hilarious comedy, Clifton Webb stars as Frank Bunker Gilbreth, a turn-of-the-century efficiency expert who tries to apply his exacting work standards to raising his children - all 12 of them! Based on the bestseller by children of the real Mr. Gilbreth, this charming film that's "alive with big laughs" (Los Angeles Times) co-stars Myrna Loy as Gilbreth's patient wife Lillian. Narrated by the Gilbreth's oldest daughter Ann (Jeanne Crain), Cheaper by the Dozen is an entertaining, charming film that follows this unique family throughout their life together.
