Let’s go again to weep over the comic-tragic adventures of Cary Grant and his wife Betsy Drake, and let us feel no remorse about it. Certainly form doesn’t take precedence over content but justifies it and if necessary even rehabilitates it.

I really enjoyed the characters in this movie. Feel good movie - I'm an Eagle Scout Mom, so I was boo-hooing at the end. I didn't know Cary and Betsy married in real life. Charming

Room for one more (1952) Film Review A film Cary Grant film about adults adopting children who had been rejected based upon bad habits and eventually seeing turn from their ways. Eventually they learn to to be appreciative and be good in society and to family. It is a film where parents and kids learn from each other. If you enjoy Boy Scouts then the end of the film will do it for you.

A laugh throughout the movie and The Times I kept getting something in my eye that made it water. This is a great movie well worth the time to watch.

One of the sweetest, happiest movies I've ever seen! Cary Grant and Betsy Drake play the perfect parents who decide to adopt two grown children, even though they already have three of their own. Everyone in this family has to adapt to the new dynamic and learn to love one another. Sticky sweet and sentimental at times, so much so that it may make you cry (in a good way).

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Cute and feel good family film about taking in orphans and helping even those who have been the worst off. There was a plug for Eagle Scouts to boot.
