BEARDSLEY, HELEN Who Gets the Drumstick?: That Once-in-a-Lifetime True Love Story
Bantam Books, 1968. Mass Market Paperback. Good. Minor shelf wear, ink name on first page, pages toned, book bent upwards slightly. Basis for the motion picture, 'Yours, Mine and Ours'. "Yours, Mine and Ours is a 1968 film, directed by Melville Shavelson, with Henry Fonda, Lucille Ball and Van Johnson. Before its release, it had three other working titles: The Beardsley Story, Full House, and His, Hers, and Theirs. It was based loosely on the story of Frank and Helen Beardsley, although Desilu Productions bought the rights to the story long before Helen's autobiographical book Who Gets the Drumstick? was released to bookstores. Screenwriters Madelyn Pugh and Bob Carroll took the opportunity to write in several classic I Love Lucy-style stunts that in most cases have no basis in the actual lives of the Beardsley family, before Melville Shavelson and Mort Lachman took over primary writing duties. Nevertheless, it enjoyed great commercial success, and even the Beardsleys themselves appreciated it, though Frank Beardsley would definitely say that the version of the Beardsley story in the film was not exactly true. This film was later remade in 2005 with actors Dennis Quaid and Renee Russo as Frank and Helen Beardsley. The present film is regarded as the more historically accurate of the two, even with Pugh and Carroll's "antic Lucy" interpolations." -- Wikipedia.
