This clip is from one of my all time favorite movies, “Yours, Mine & Ours”. Stars Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball, 1968. The entire movie is worth a watch for the story. It’s based on a real life, large, blended family (with a few Hollywood enhancements thrown in to heighten the appeal.)

In this scene, there are two things happening. First, Helen (Lucy) has gone into labor and secondly, her oldest daughter has been dealing with pressure from her boyfriend.

I love the chemistry between Frank & Helen (Henry and Lucy.) Especially when she is in labor and asks for a glass of water. He drinks it, hands her the pitcher and tells her to stay calm. The look on her face says it all!

Words to consider:

Frank Beardsley: “It's giving life that counts. Until you're ready for it, all the rest is just a big fraud. All the crazy haircuts in the world won't keep it turning. Life isn't a love in, it's the dishes and the orthodontist and the shoe repairman and... ground round instead of roast beef. And I'll tell you something else: it isn't going to bed with a man that proves you're in love with him; it's getting up in the morning and facing the drab, miserable, wonderful everyday world with him that counts.” [the IMDB]
