Cheaper by the Dozen (1950+sequels)


This is a combined entry for Cheaper by the Dozen (1950), the sequel "Belles on Their Toes" (1952), and the remake "Cheaper by the Dozen (2003).

I found the 1950 version recently which is excellent about a family with 12 kids ~5-17 ys, 6 boys, 6 girls, setting in the 1940s. Many sailor suit/sailor dresses (even teens and women, Jeanne Crain was 25), bathing costumes and other clothings.

Bib overalls at least worn by a young boy and a man and at least a boy in 1952.
In the 2003 remake (starring Steve Martin) at least twins Brent and Shane Kinsman (6 ys) in bibs, but I don't like this remake.
As the boys are very young I don't make separate entries with pics and trailer.
I don't remember all films. Are there any bib scenes in Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005)?
Rating 4 for all 3 films for bib scenes (rating 7-8 for sailor suits for now).

For more infos about the 1950 and 1952 films, see my sailor suit blog. The 1950 film is also in color (despite the b/w pics and trailers.)

Now also updating color pics on my sailor suit blog.
