Anne (Betsy Drake) and Poppy Rose (Cary Grant) are a loving couple with three kids after losing the fourth. On a PTA tour of an orphanage, the selfless Anne is taken with the children. When the group is shown the older unwanted kids, everybody walks away except Anne. Jane is a troubled child who tried to kill herself. She's bitter with trust issues. They win her over and then Anne picks angry handicapped orphan Jimmy-John.
This starts like a sentimental hurricane. Jane is a real tear jerker. They do switch to Jimmy-John who is a more difficult battle. I wonder if the movie loses a bit of steam by sidelining Jane's story. The characters are compelling and heart-wrenching. It has a few fun scenes mostly with Grant pulling off gags. It's just a very touching movie.
