Made for TV version


Does anyone remember seeing a made for TV version of this movie? I was on vacation one time and saw a different version of this movie, but now I can't find it anywhere. It's not the 2005 version or the 1968 version.

Are you talking about the ABC Family movie "I Do, They Don't"? It was essentially the same story, only with less kids (I think each family had 4).

I loved it but now I can't find it anywhere!

Could be the 1968 version is one of my faves - along with the Courtship of Eddie's father with Glenn Ford and Ronnie Howard but I digress. I think you are talking about the version with Lucille Ball as Helen North and Henry Fonda as Frank Beardsley. It had a slightly different premise though - he had 10 and she had 8..he was a Naval Commander and she a nurse. Both recently widowed she came to work at the base where he was and they got together and married. Lucille Ball was hilarious in it with 2 of the funniest scenes in movies in a long time. This version was based on a real family.
