Houseboat

A romantic comedy short on logic but long on suave chemistry from 1958. A woman passes leaving her passel of 3 children w/their estranged father played by Cary Grant. Enter the luminous Sophia Loren, the daughter of a well regarded Italian music conductor who's on the outs w/her father so she flees his strict confines to meet up Grant & offer her services to be his maid & au pair to his unruly trio of brats when they move into the moored titular houseboat. That she falls for Grant while his wife's sister has made her feelings known makes for an interesting set of misconceptions & situations. What is essentially a remake of Grant's Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House mixed w/Sabrina has romance being the main sauce to this amorous pasta which makes this meal go down smoothly w/o the caloric guilt. Enjoy!
