Film Adaptations
Cheaper by the Dozen was made into a 1950 motion picture starring Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy as Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. One scene includes Mildred Natwick's character (a visitor from a family planning organization) being ridiculed by the family.
Cheaper by the Dozen and Cheaper by the Dozen 2 were produced in 2003 and 2005 respectively, starring comedians Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt, but bearing no resemblance to the original book or 1950 film, except that both feature a family with twelve children, though the mother's maiden name is Gilbreth.

“[Film noir] experiences periodic rebirth and rediscovery. Whenever we have any moment of deep societal rift or disruption in America, one of the ways we can express it is through the ideas and behavior in film noir.”
