Watchlist:

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.

Why you might like this:

Sitting Pretty from 1948 offers a delightful blend of comedy and character, thanks to director Walter Lang's deft touch and the standout performance of Clifton Webb as the eccentric, highly capable Mr. Belvedere. Fans of classic screwball comedies will appreciate the witty dialogue and the dynamic between the prim Maureen O'Hara and the unapologetically unconventional Belvedere.
