Sinopsis: Como parte de su investigación para escribir un libro, un novelista trabaja como institutriz de tres intratables niños. (FILMAFFINITY)
Canguro con bigote y pantalones.Harry y Tacey son un matrimonio con cuatro hijos que busca desesperadamente una niñera que les ayude en las tareas del hogar y, sobre todo, que cuide de sus 'angelitos'. El puesto de canguro lo ocupa rápidamente nada más y nada menos que un caballero, el señor Belvedere, que logra meter en cintura a los mocosos a la par que inicia una investigación para su próxima novela.
Comedia familiar con una atípica historia protagonizada por un hombre que hace de niñera. Historia peculiar dada la época en la que se estrenó, pero que tuvo tanto éxito que se dirigieron dos secuelas más.
Protagonizan la cinta Maureen O'Hara y Robert Young como el apurado matrimonion y un serio Clifton Webb como el 'niñero' que utiliza eficaces métodos para educar a los niños, y que por su interpretación fue nominado a los Oscar de ese año (DeCine21).
AMG Synopsis: Clifton Webb has the role of a lifetime as Lynn Belvedere, self-styled genius and expert on everything. Belvedere accepts the job of baby-sitting the troublesome children of Robert Young and Maureen O'Hara; he wins the job by calmly dumping a bowl of cold oatmeal on the head of the couple's most contentious offspring! At first the family chafes at Belvedere's imperiousness and unlimited resourcefulness, but gradually everyone--especially the children--grow quite fond of the man. The couple's snoopy neighbor (Richard Haydn), noting that Belvedere spends quite a lot of time in the house when the husband is away, begins spreading rumors of a clandestine affair. Belvedere only fuels the flames of innuendo by working on a "secret project" in his room. That project turns out to be a book about the community where he is staying, a revealing volume that exposes the pettiness and hypocrisy of several respectable citizens. Robert Young nearly loses his job over the ensuing scandal, but when the community becomes world famous and the object of increased business activity, Belvedere is the hero of the day. Clifton Webb made so vivid an impression as Mr. Belvedere that he repeated the role in two sequels, and played variations of Belvedere (with emphasis on his "child psychology" tactics) in such films as Cheaper by the Dozen and Mr. Scoutmaster. After numerous failed attempts at launching a TV series based on the Gwen Davenport-created character, Mr. Belvedere settled into a long video run in 1985, with Christopher Hewett in the title role and sportscaster Bob Uecker as Belvedere's nonplused employer.
AMG Review: Casting the villainous Clifton Webb -- he of the supremely oily elegance -- in a light and fluffy comedy was quite a gamble, but the gamble paid off in spades for Sitting Pretty. Despite a number of other important assets, Webb is the anchor that keeps bringing this lightweight comedy back to the earth with a deliciously solid and amusing thud; never a crash, of course, for, in this film at least, Walter Lang is too careful and nimble a director to allow anything cataclysmic to happen. He just makes sure that the thrusts and counter thrusts are carefully aimed to nick without damaging. Thus, every conflict is given just the right weight, and the cast deftly walks the careful line between too much and too little. Webb, of course, steals the show, giving the lie to the adage that actors should never play scenes with children; he mops up the floor with those on hand here. He's given great support by Robert Young and Maureen O'Hara, and Richard Haydn even manages to sneak in a few punches of his own. Silly and often predictable, Sitting Pretty nevertheless is sprightly and engaging and a great deal of simple fun.
