Cheaper by the Dozen

Cheaper by the Dozen is a 1950 film, based on a semi-autobiographical novel by two members of a twelve child family. The father, Frank Gilbreth, was an efficiency expert and the film shows his efforts to apply the same methods to the family, as reflected in the title.
The film was followed by a 1952 sequel, Belles on Their Toes (following psychologist mother Lillian's raising of the family after Gilbreth's death). Loose remakes called Cheaper by the Dozen have been made in 2003 and 2022, only sharing the title and the concept of two working parents raising twelve children.

*The Count in Sesame Street Episode 2423 tries to persuade David to watch more classic, number-based movies, mentioning Cheaper by the Dozen (as well as One Thousand Clowns and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea). The episode's script lists Brewster's Millions (likely the 1945 film rather than the 1985 Richard Pryor movie), but Cheaper by the Dozen is used instead in the final episode.
