Every Little Crook and Nanny

A vengeful nanny takes on the Mob in this zany farce starring Lynn Redgrave and Victor Mature in his last leading role. Nobody would be crazy enough to do something to Carmine Ganucci's kid. But when the Mafia chief (Mature) evicts Miss Pool (Redgrave) so he can turn her etiquette school into a bookie join, he mistakenly thinks she's a nanny and hires her to take care of his son. Snatching the boy while Ganucci's away, Miss Pool plans to restart her school with the ransom, but complications ensue when a low-level hood (Paul Sand) keeps the Don in the dark and fails to make good on the payoff. Costarring an all-star lineup of comics including John Astin, Dom DeLuise, Austin Pendleton, Pat Morita, Phi Foster, Pat Harrington Jr., Isabel Sanford and Vic Tayback, Every Little Crook and Nanny was co-written by Weekend at Bernie's Robert Klane, based on the novel by Evan Hunter.
