Sitting Pretty
Never was a baby-sitter like this!
Directed by Walter Lang
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A lighthearted 1948 comedy about an eccentric male babysitter who upends a suburban family's expectations through wit, unconventional wisdom, and charm.
Tacey and Harry King are a suburban couple with three sons and a serious need of a babysitter. Tacey puts an ad in the paper for a live-in babysitter, and the ad is answered by Lynn Belvedere. But when she arrives, she turns out to be a man. And not just any man, but a most eccentric, outrageously forthright genius with seemingly a million careers and experiences behind him.
