Suppose you’re an attractive high-school girl and you’re a member of a large/unique family and your father is, in fact, one of the great pioneers of industrial efficiency. Then suppose he decides, to apply his unorthodox methods to your big family. The results are terribly embarrassing, funny and—it must be admitted—extremely effective! To Anne, however, the effect seems to be making the family seem ridiculous to everyone else—especially to the boys at school! Dad pushes ahead with better organization for his family. While the situations are uproarious, there’s a serious reason. Dad has a secret heart condition. Anne, the oldest, rebels. Both Dad and become miserable at the lack of understanding between them. In a deft and moving scene, Dad realizes how Anne has grown.
