Cheaper by the Dozen (1950 film)
''Cheaper by the Dozen'' is a 1950 Technicolor film based upon the 1948 autobiographical book ''Cheaper by the Dozen'' by Frank Bunker Gilbreth, Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. The film and book describe growing up in a family with twelve children in Montclair, New Jersey.
==Plot==
The parents were time and motion study and efficiency experts Frank Bunker Gilbreth, Sr. and psychologist Lillian Moller Gilbreth. The title comes from one of Gilbreth's favorite jokes which played out in the movie that when he and his family were out driving and stopped at a red light, a pedestrian would ask "Hey, Mister! How come you got so many kids?" Gilbreth would pretend to ponder the question carefully, and then, just as the light turned green, would say "Well, they come cheaper by the dozen, you know," and drive off.
The story opens with typical days in the lives of a family in the 1920s with 12 children and an efficiency engineer as the parent. This includes scenes where Frank employs his unorthodox teaching methods on his children, classic clashes between conservative parents and children's desire for more freedom (flashier clothing, make up, etc.). Frank takes every opportunity to study motion and increasing efficiency, even filming his children's tonsillectomies to see if there are ways to streamline the operation.
After Frank's death, the family agrees that Lillian will continue with her husband's work; this enables the family to remain in their house (the alternative is to move to their grandmother's in California) although, with a widowed working mother and one income, the children will have to assume much greater responsibilities.
