Not exactly the ordinary family, the Gilbreths use their twelve children to study first hand how everything can be done more efficiently. Dad was Frank B. Gilbreth, and mother was Lillian Moller Gilbreth, both industrial engineers and pioneers in the field of time management. With twelve children, an eccentric father, a dog, and a Pierce Arrow lovingly dubbed "Foolish Carriage," the Gilbreths amaze their neighbors and flabbergast their teachers

Basis for the 1950 motion picture starring Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy as Frank and Lillian Gilbreth
