Child in the House is saved from being just another of those routine sociological treatises our studios turn out so often by the enchanting Mandy, whose good-mannered charm and perfect air of naturalness make her performance something quite different.

Modest family drama that gets the most out of its slight story because the acting is top-notch. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

11/06/2018 Another from the Talking Pics channel. A somewhat sweet film. Stanley Baker is as strong as always. A good cast in a film that has a fantasy feel about it. A good Sunday afternoon film.
