    Let me put it this way. If the rating on this film was one to ten stars, I give it ten stars. This was made only three years after WWII ended. I saw it when it first came out, full screen in a movie theatre. It was marvelous then as it is now. It has held up extremely well. The movie stars are all wonderful, and you can thank your luck stars you get to see it. I may not be the genius Mr. Belvedere is, but I know a good/great movie when I see one. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

      Clifton Webb doesn't get many positive remarks but was one of my favorite's actors for the bio of Sousa, Great Band Leader who created such wonderful Marching tunes for the military, Mr. Belvedere was another movie as well the great mystery thriller "Laura" with the actress Gene Tierney.

      Please also see,
      " Mr. Belvedere
      Goes To College".
      This film ( "Sitting Pretty" )
      lets us enjoy the
      results of Mr. B. as
      " Know It All " , but he
      really does ! 😊👍
      I liked the husband's
      reproach to his wife,
      when she'd just said
      Mr. B. " dances like a saint !"
      Hubby retorts,
      " I don't care if he
      dances like Saint Vitus
      Himself ! What about ME ?!"
      And the neighbours,
      recognising themselves
      in the novel, a best-seller,
      naturally ! 📖👍😊

      @@homegown1234 And, toss in, "The Razor's Edge" with Tyrone Power, Gene Tierney, Herbert Marshall, John Payne and Anne Baxter. Anne Baxter won an Oscar for her performance. "The Razor's Edge" is one of the greatest stories ever told on film and is beautifully shot. The direction is perfect as is the music.

      Better than 98% of modern films. No CGI, no car chases or sex scenes to pad a poorly composed script. I just want a good story made by skilled artists. Out of dozens of these old films I haven't found one that didn't have a solid plotline.

    1950 to 1960 ,
    approx. 😊
    It was admittedly
    meant as a compliment,

    You darn right Mom was a better cook!
    What can I say, I saw this movie when I was eight years old. Saturday afternoon.
    Maureen Ohara just enthralled me because my mother was Maureen Ohara all the way around.
    She wasn't an actress but could have been her stand-in without trouble.
    This movie should be re-done, but it scares me a bit to think how they might re-make it.
    Got a kick out of both (John Russell), (Clifton Webb).
    (Webb) imagine (Donald O'Conner) and (Russell) how he portrayed that certain look of
    (Clark Gable/Burt Renolds) expressions. lol
    The excellent abilities of the child actors as well during this period of movie making.
    Not to take away the child actors that followed, but still incomparable along the way
    into today's Hollywood.
    These "Classics" are worth it to me to keep my RUclips subscription.
    Thank you...

    I could never exist in a home with that much clutter. Floral drapes, floral wallpaper, flouncy curtains, meaningless accessories on every flat surface.
    This is so remembered from my youth and the 1 o'clock movie on Channel 12. Lunch, then a movie all summer long. Me and Mom. KPTV 12 out of Portland. Oldest indepentent station west of the Rockies. Now a Fox affiliate but the most unbiased, comprehensive local news team we have, imo. A trusted source for news for a long, long time. Don't know if the 1o'clock movie anymore but it surely brought out a great love for the films of the 30s, 40s and 50s in me.

      FYI - Chuck Lorre originally intended Johnny Galecki to play the role, but Galecki thought he would be "better suited" for the character of Leonard. Lorre said that when Jim Parsons auditioned for the role, he was "so startlingly good" that he was asked to re audition "to make sure he hadn't gotten lucky".

    A suburban couple solves its babysitting woes by hiring snooty genius Lynn Belvedere (Clifton Webb)...but being that it's the suburbs and that it's 1948, much gossip ensues. Slick, episodic family comedy was a huge hit in its day (and got Webb his third Oscar nod) but I'm not entirely feeling the love. Belvedere is not only a one-note character but, for me, remarkably unlikable, even if that's supposed to be the joke; his treatment of everybody in the sculpture scene alone is enough to make me want to dump the bowl of pablum from earlier in the movie on HIS head! Still, Webb would become a major star playing Belvedere or variations thereof all through the 50s, so what do I know? I do wonder, however, what happened to Henry, the huge family dog from the beginning of the movie. Did Belvedere have him sent to, uh, a nice big farm out in the country? Wouldn't surprise me! 6/10.
