The title is stolen from a book.......
... by Frank Gibreth Jr. about 12 kids having a father who was an 'efficiency expert' and except for the fact that the mother is named 'Gilbreth' there is absolutely NO resemblance in the movie to the book. Frank Gilbreth Sr. in reality invented many things take for granted today, like the nurse passing the doctor instruments during surgery. He also taught soldiers in the army how to disassemble and reassemble weapons in the dark with as few motions as possible. The book may be old-fashioned now, being published in 1950, but is a good read about his family told with plenty of humor.
