Overview

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.

"Harry" (Robert Young) and "Tacey" (Maureen O'Hara) are in need of a new maid after their other, a bit of a beer-swiller, departs. They take out an advertisement and get a response from a promising "Lynn Belvedere", but he - well that says it all!
