Yours, Mine and Ours

In the film, Fonda's character, Frank Beardsley, is a Navy warrant officer, while Ball's character, Helen North, is a nurse. Frank meets Helen when she takes care of his sick daughter. They immediately hit it off and go on a date, all the while both of them shying away from admitting their respective secrets; Frank has ten children and Helen has eight, from previous marriages that ended in death for both their spouses.

Although they fight it, their attraction is undeniable, and they quickly marry. After some initial tension, the eighteen children bond and make one large blended family.

The success of the movie partly inspired network approval of the television series

A remake starring Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo was released in November 2005 (see ). In this version, Frank Beardsley is an admiral in the United States Coast Guard serving as superintendent of the United States Coast Guard Academy. Also in the remake, Helen has ten children, while Frank has eight.
