DVD Synopsis

Myrna Loy returns as Mrs. Gilbreth -- efficiency expert, industrial engineer, and mother of twelve -- in this sequel to Cheaper by the Dozen. After the death of her husband, Gilbreth is forced to take over as the family's primary breadwinner, but she soon discovers that not every company who hired her and her husband in the past is eager to work with her on her own. Facing prejudice from many of her prospective clients, Gilbreth finally makes good training engineers for Sam Harper (Edward Arnold), putting her family back on solid financial ground. In the meantime, the dozen Gilbreth children are growing up, most notably eldest daughter Ann (Jeanne Crain), who enters into a serious romance with Bob Grayson (Jeffrey Hunter), a young doctor. The supporting cast includes Hoagy Carmichael, Debra Paget, Barbara Bates and Robert Arthur. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Lillian Gilbreth (played by Myrna Loy) puts her life back together after the death of her husband with a little help from her 12 children in this sequel to the 1950 version of Cheaper by the Dozen, which has been given a sturdy presentation on DVD. Belles on Their Toes has been given a full-frame transfer to disc in the aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The original English-language audio has been remixed for playback in Dolby Digital 5.1, while alternate dubbed Spanish and French tracks are in Dolby Digital Mono. Bonus materials include trailers for Belles on Their Toes, the 1950 Cheaper by the Dozen, and the 2003 in-name-only remake. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
