My Fave Movie - Cheaper By The Dozen (original)

I have to say that my favorite movie is the original "Cheaper By the Dozen". It is the movie of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth who were know in their day as "time managers". The movie gives us a bit of history of how time management was studied by a couple. This couple had 12 children, (one who died at a young age). They used their children with many of their time experiments. Frank was one of the first to sit in on surgical operations and come up with the idea of saving time by having a nurse hand the surgeon the instruments as they were needed. His wife worked beside him and helped him with his experiments. When Frank died at a young age of a heart attack, Lillian went on his place. The movie is a comedy too, showing the antics of the family as a whole. The follow up movie "Belles On Their Toes" goes into the life of the Gilbreth family without Frank. Both movies come about from the books of the same names, written by two of the Gilbreth children.
