Father Is a Prince?

Tim,

Could "Father Is a Prince" be the film you're thinking about? I did a search on IMDB and this film turned up. See the link for details. It doesn't mention anything about a kidnapping though.

this could be it. I'll check into it further. Tim

I know this is an old thread, but I have to chime in. I remember an episode of the show "Rhoda" (I think it was a spinoff of the Mary Tyler Moore show) where she's vacuuming her apartment with a Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50. It was loud and definitely the sound of a Kirby.

tv vacuums

Bachelor Father had the following vacuums on it.A Hoover 634,& a Compact,during the first two seasons. As the show was produced by Revue,who also did "Leave it to Beaver". I think these vacuums were also used on Beaver. You only see the 634 briefly on the first episode of beaver.Connie Gilchrest,who was also Auntie Mames'maid is carrying it through the kitchen in the Cleavers'old house.They also used a GE swivel top,on Bachelor Father,as well as a Hoover 913,when the great character actress Kathleen Freeman, was their maid on one episode.Both shows moved to Universal studios in the 1959-60 season,& the moves were written into the shows.That's when June Cleaver, & the Greggs'got their larger homes.GE sponsored them,so they had the latest appliances-June's bottom freezer fridge,built in stove w/push button controls & the Greggs' double wall ovens.

Hazel's vacuums

Hazel had the following vacuums. The pilot shows her putting an old Eureka-I believe,you only see the handle-in the broom closet. She also has a Modern Hygene canister. They did a show where she got a new vacuum,it was a bojacked Electrolux that was a piece of junk. Hazel went to the stockholders meeting,complained,& got a new one.When she went to live w/Mr.Baxters' brother they had a Birtman Kenmore upright 1169815-my mothers'vacuum, & an Electrolux XXX.I always found it funny that the first Baxter family had such old machines.Even the new one she got didn't have a powermate.The guy was a lawyer for chrrisakes,& look at the size of that house!You mean he was so cheap,he couldn't buy her a Convertible,& a lux w/powermate!I'll bet she was glad his brother had some decent machines!The Kenmore probably outlived Hazel,we still have my mom's.
