Hearing the sad news that Leonard Nimoy had recently passed away at the age of 83, otsoNY has decided to pay respect to the legend that was Dr. Spock by revisiting the classic 1987 comedy, Three Men and a baby that he actually directed.

Three Men and a Baby starred Tom Selleck, Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson and Nancy Travis. It follows the mishaps and adventures of three bachelors as they attempt to adapt their lives to pseudo-fatherhood with the arrival of the love child of one of them. The script was based on the 1985 French film Trois hommes et un couffin (Three Men and a Cradle). The film was the biggest American box office hit of that year, surpassing Fatal Attraction and eventually grossing US$167 million in the US alone. The movie won the 1988 People's Choice Award for Favourite Comedy Motion Picture.

New film locations as well as higher quality screen grabs will be posted this week for Three Men and a Baby.
