Sitting Pretty (1948)

Young couple with an unruly trio of children lose their fed-up housekeeper/nanny and place an ad for someone to take her place. Impressively qualified Lynn Belvedere gains the post sight-unseen and surprises everyone when Lynn turns out to be a Mr. rather than a Miss.

Clifton Webb is great as the particular Belvedere, who's quite good at his job, despite his professed distaste for children. It's a joy to watch the children respond favorably to his high expectations and the couple twist themselves into knots with curiosity and responses to neighborhood gossip.

Kinda daffy, but a real charmer.

B+
