From 1952. Cary Grant and Betsy Drake are parents who have their own kids, but are talked into taking in a couple troubled foster children. It’s charming, predictable and yes, schmaltzy. Reminds me very much of my childhood because my natural parents also took in foster kids. My parents weren’t Cary Grant or Betsy Drake, but they were very kind folks with very big hearts. And solid Democrats throughout their lives. Merry Christmas y’all!
