Editorial Reviews

This story is taken from the real-life marriage of two people in the early 1960s. Helen North (Lucille Ball) is a widow with eight children who falls in love with Naval officer Frank Beardsley (Henry Fonda), a widower with ten children of his own. The two marry as comedy ensues from the sheer numbers and diverse age groups of the offspring. Narration is used in the first half of the film to help set the stage for the impending nuptials. Van Johnson is the mutual friend who brings the couple together. Tom Bosley plays the harried doctor who makes a house call and finds almost two dozen patients under one roof. The newlyweds are soon off to the hospital when Helen becomes pregnant with the couple's first child in this amusing family comedy. Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Very Close to My Heartby Anonymous

September 08, 2005: My parents went to see this movie on their first date and soon after blended two large families together, much in the same manner as the Beardsleys and Norths. I am extremely grateful to the tellers of this story for inspiring my parents to marry, thus giving me the best mother in the world. Though this is a comedy, and bits of it are truly hilarious, it is not overdone and focuses well on important family issues. Lucille Ball is very much not Lucy in this film, and is the perfect blend of serious and funny. Many of the younger actors are very recognizable despite their youth including Tim Matheson and Tracy Nelson who, due to her smile and other facial features, is easy to spot as the approximately three-year-old Jermaine. The dual narration, assembly line lunch making, industrial laundry chores, military-like logistics for bathroom sharing, and grocery shopping for an apparent army are all interestingly staged. The movie also includes a nice variety of settings including the crowded house, bar, aircraft carrier, clinic, navel base, school, commissary, and hospital. This is an uplifting family story and a wonderful Christmastime feel-good movie, though it is fun to watch all year round. --J.H. Sweet, author of The Fairy Chronicles

A Movie Everyone Will Loveby Anonymous

April 07, 2004: I remember watching this movie on a Sunday afternoon as a child, and now my children enjoy watching it over and over again. Each time they find something new to laugh at. Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda are so funny, and what fun to see Tim Matheson as the oldest Beardsley son. No matter how many times you see this movie you don't get tired of it.
