Yours, Mine and Ours is a 1968 film, starring Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball, based on Helen Beardsley's book, Who Gets the Drumsticks?

In the film, Fonda's character, Frank Beardsley, is a Naval officer, while Ball's character, Helen North, is a Navy nurse. Frank meets Helen when she takes care of his sick daughter. They immediately hit it off and go on a date, all the while both of them shying away from admitting their respective secrets; Frank has ten children and Helen has eight, from previous marriages that ended in death for both their spouses.

Although they fight it, their attraction is undeniable, and they quickly marry. After some initial tension, the eighteen children bond and make one large blended family.

This movie partly inspired the television series The Brady Bunch.
