One can site up a debate between a Jesuit priest supporting the sanctity of life and the secularist dedicated to worldwide birth control, but perhaps the message of the beauty and mystery and wonder of family would be better delivered by this comedy than by a recitation of the catechism. Henry Fonda’s character is right: nothing fresh has been written since “Fanny Hill”.
A reviewer wrote that she was disappointed at the children’s disrespect toward the adults. But I opinion the children’s less than perfect behavior was principal to the film and the film’s message. Yeah, having children, be it three or eighteen, is a burden. There’s no guarantee they’ll be grateful for the sacrifices you get for them or that they’ll allow you to have any sort of life of your maintain. The children in the film are not angels. Few are. Indeed, I would argue they’re rather normal, with the scales leaning heavily toward helpful. They’re bratty, tender, difficult, warm, self-centered and giving. That’s the beauty of life and humanity and it’s more or less what Fonda tried to elaborate to Lucy’s oldest daughter when she questioned him about sex. “You advise him that this is what it’s all about.”
Notice how the film places a distinct amount of focus on Tim Matheson’s character. Early on, he spikes Lucy’s drink and then giggles as she humiliates herself. (Shades of the “Otter” character he would play ten years later.) But eventually he decides that she’s not so dreadful - at about the time, not coincidentally, that he’s becoming a man - then he accepts her and, being a natural leader like his father, persuades his siblings to elect her “our mother, for life”.

That scene, indeed the whole film, would not have worked had the children been so unrealistically and expeditiously accepting of the stepmother. As it’s played and as it’s written, it comes off without the sense of being fake or manipulative. Not an easy thing to do in film.
Without meaning any disrespect, I feel a distinct amount of pity for the reviewer that grew up in Germany and wrote that they considered families of four or more “trash”. (For the sake of Germany, I hope that’s not suitable.) To each his contain, I enlighten. But if you can’t delight in this film and it’s celebration of life and humanity, I’m not determined what you can be pleased. I will say that people that advance from substantial families almost always laugh more than people that do not.
Still, I would not effect “Yours, Mine and Hours” family values propaganda. Had that been the plan, there would not have been the classic drunk scene nor the portion where a somewhat randy Fonda tells the parking valet, “Retain the motor running.” I don’t bear they were trying to do anything but jabber a warm, amusing myth. They succeeded tremendously.
This review refers to “Yours, Mine and Ours”(1968), DVD(MGM) edition.

The one thing I like about remakes(okay, there are a few trustworthy ones out there), is that they bring some renewed and well deserved attention to the modern. Usually a classic. All of a sudden these oldies but goodies launch appearing and are getting top billing at the video and discount stores. I understand that a remake with a more unique rob will bring the account to a whole modern(maybe even 2) generations, but this is Lucy Ball and Henry Fonda we are talking about, does it win any better?
So I was so satisfied to peep this 1968 classic family film on DVD, and at such a reasonable trace. The record is provocative, colors are profitable. If you are REALLY looking for them, you will gape some signs of age, but basically a astonishing transfer of this nearly 40 year old-fashioned film…but MGM!…”modified to fit my shroud”? (pan and scan), why’d you have to go and do that for. Couldn’t we at least have the choice as to whether we would like to understanding it as the director and cinematographer wanted us to peruse it? So that’s my reason for 4 stars, maybe another edition will arrive out in the modern hide format. And while I’m on a rant about this DVD, why aren’t there any subtitles or captions in English for those who may need them to luxuriate in this fabulous film. There are however subtitles in French and Spanish and may also be viewed in those languages as well. All in Dolby Digital, and although in Mono(including the English), the sound is very noble. The only features is a Trailer. Wouldn’t it have been nice to acquire the child actors together to talk about working with the sizable ones?

The film is 5 stars in my book. It’s one that I fancy enough to take this DVD(with all it’s faults), as I know that it will score viewed and enjoyed many times. For those that have never seen it(or the remake), it’s a charming, silly and poignant romantic comedy of a widow and widower(Ball and Fonda), who topple in admire, marry and try to bring their kids together as one broad cheerful family. And when I say enormous, I mean great…between them they have 18 kids! The resentment the kids compose up are very understandable, and all the child actors do a wonderful job of portraying their feelings.The courtship scenes will build you topple in admire all over again.
Lucy, who was not far from 60 years veteran when she made this film, is absolutely attractive. She has a scene in which she wears a short skirt and shows off her calm heavenly legs. Her droll abilities as always are the best. Who can do drunk better then she(and maybe Dudley Moore) . Fonda is charming, delicate and shiny as the father, and Naval officer who tries to hasten his family as he runs his ship. The supporting cast are no slouches. Van Johnson and Tom Bosley add their fantastic talents as well. A couple of faces to peep for among the 18 children, are Tim Matheson as the eldest Beardsley child, Mike(Henry’s group) and Tracey Nelson, objective a toddler as Germaine Beardsley.
A feel-good film that will preserve you smiling throughout. One the entire family may devour together(especially grand families),some fabulously silly dialogue, and a substantial observe at the 60’s!
Fonda: “…I’m joyful I have 10 children”
Lucy: “And I’m joyful I have my 8″
Fonda’s date, sitting between them: “And I’m contented I’m careful!”
I’ll ALWAYS Adore Lucy!… Appreciate…..Laurie
