Did You Know?
1. This film is based on the real life Gilbreth family. The name Gilbreth appears several times throughout the film: Nora says that it's her grandmother's name when the kids are playing the game with the apples; it's Kate's maiden name according to her yearbook; it's Kate's middle name according to the dust jacket of her book.
2. Although this film is supposedly based on the same book that inspired the 1950 film classic (Walter Lang Directed - King And I), the only element it retains from the original is the idea of there being twelve children in one family. Even the names of the characters are changed.
3. The real family had 6 boys and 6 girls.
