Upon her release from a mental institution where she was recovering from a suicide attempt, Andrea McBride (Tracy Nelson) applies for the position of nanny for a handsome, wealthy surgeon, Dr. James Lewis (Bruce Boxleitner), a widower with two children. Another applicant is hired, but she dies in an accident and Andrea gets the job after all, excelling and quickly becoming part of the family. Then Lewis' girlfriend, Dr. Julia Bruning (Susan Blakely), is mysteriously killed. When his boss (Charles Glenn) tells Lewis of impending cutbacks at the hospital, the boss is murdered. Meanwhile, Lewis' teenaged daughter Fawn (Dana Barron) begins piecing together the history of the new nanny and discovers that Andrea may be responsible for these and other killings -- but Fawn had better hurry, because the slayings are getting closer to home.

Someone at York/Maverick Entertainment had the bright idea to install a green butcher knife for the cursor point in the supplementary materials of The Perfect Nanny. It's actually kind of amusing to jab at photos of the characters with a virtual knife when selecting a chapter. Otherwise, the DVD is just fine, sounding wonderfully digital in Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound and looking sharp and clear with firm colors throughout. The filmographies of stars Tracy Nelson, Bruce Boxleitner, and Katherine Helmond are single pages with photos; while skimpy, they serve the purpose, although biographies would have been nice. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide
