Family Affair: A Helping Hand (1967)
Hollywood icon Myrna Loy guest stars as Adele, a once wealthy matron forced by circumstance to work as a maid. Out of the goodness of his heart, Mr. Nigel French (John Williams) helpfully covers up Adele's ineptitude, an act of largesse that backfires when Adele makes a shambles of a society party--and holds French responsible. At the same time, Bill (Brian Keith) gets into trouble for extending his own helping hand and taking over the twins' school science project. All this intrigue leads to the conclusion by the adults in the Davis household that they will never, ever "get involved" again--but it's up to 15-year-old Cissy (Kathy Garver) to resolve the situation. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
