Sitting Pretty

1948-03-101h 23mComedy7.1/10TMDB · 49 votes

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.

“Never was a baby-sitter like this!”

The world, in frames.

Stills, posters, and artwork in every language.

Your next obsession.

Finding your next story…

Behind the frames.
