Watch Sitting Pretty (1948) Official Trailer
Never was a baby-sitter like this!
7.1 / 10 IMDb March 10, 1948 1h 23m
Tacey and Harry King are a suburban couple with three sons and a serious need of a babysitter. Tacey puts an ad in the paper for a live-in babysitter, and the ad is answered by Lynn Belvedere. But when she arrives, she turns out to be a man. And not just any man, but a most eccentric, outrageously forthright genius with seemingly a million careers and experiences behind him.
