    Sitting Pretty(1948)

    This is the synopsis if you have not seen it

    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. Mr. Belvedere works miracles with the children and the house but the Kings have no idea just what he's doing with his evenings off. And when Harry has to go out of town on a business trip, a nosy parker starts a few ugly rumors. But everything comes out all right in the end thanks to Mr. Belvedere


    a) Would you say this is the same as Mrs Doubtfire and has something of Bewitched about it?
    b) Trying to find something about this writer of this film ''Kathy Li'' but can't seem to find anything.

    Thanks!
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    Halliwell's Film Guide gives no mention of Kathy Li in the credits. The story was adapted from a novel called Belvedere by Gwen Davenport.
    "L'art de la statistique est de tirer des conclusions erronèes a partir de chiffres exacts." Napoléon Bonaparte.

    "Je crois que beaucoup de gens sont dans cet état d’esprit: au fond, ils ne sentent pas concernés par l’Histoire. Mais pourtant, de temps à autre, l’Histoire pose sa main sur eux." Michel Houellebecq.
