A big hit in Britain. This was attributed to Kenneth More at his popular peak but I think the central concept played a part - man raising three kids without his partner - hahahah. Men raising kids was a surefire formula for many years eg Three Men and a Baby, Kindergarten Cop, Three Godfathers.
It is amiable. There is colour, cute kids, American neighbours, a cute house (a windmill), a girl flirts with More (might've been a better film to make him widowed and have a romance), a little bit of feminism with More's speech at the end about the job women do. It was directed by a woman, Wendy Toye.
