It's the supporting cast that make it fun. Eddie arnold, leon ames, and giggling spring byington. Who doesn't do much giggling in this one. Too bad. When mom daphne lattimer is injured, hubby commander lattimer must take over and watch the kids. Unfortunately, while hubby can run a multimillion dollar battle ship, he can't seem to run the vacuum cleaner. Or coffee pot. Or the toaster. We've seen those kitchen disasters before, with hepburn and tracy, in adams rib. Which was SO much better. There's little chemistry here, between walker and leslie, playing husband and wife. There is a funny sight gag, as lattimer and the neighbor are crying and sniffling, while cutting up onions, and talking about household chores. Kind of precursor to yours, mine, and ours. Or with six you get eggroll. It's okay. It feels like the script was written during wartime, but the film wasn't made until years later. Seems to be a B movie. And what's with the giant ironing machine? Was that really a thing? My mom was using a hand held iron for many years after this film was made. Directed by elliott nugent...this was one of the last films he directed. He made five films with bob hope!
