A humorous domestic comedy that is not about normal life – not when Jean’s husband is a famous drama critic; they have four children who behave infamously; a dog called Kelly and they live in a turreted mansion with a 32-bell carillon that plays the duet from Carmen daily at noon.  Here’s plenty of slapstick about dieting, decorating and parental rights (“There’s four of them and only two of us, but we’re bigger and it’s OUR house!”) as well as hilarious observations about the world of theatre.  This was also made into a film starring Doris Day.
