Based on the autobiography by George and Anna Rose, Room for One More is a warm-hearted vehicle for husband-and-wife actors Cary Grant and Betsy Drake.

Both Anna and her husband "Poppy" (Grant) must contend with the emotional baggage brought to their home by these "unwanted" kids, and both bear up quite well. The film's dramatic core concerns the Roses' efforts to reach a desperately unhappy 13-year-old girl (Iris Mann) and a physically handicapped boy with a penchant for getting into serious trouble (Clifford Tatum Jr). Despite occasional moments of anguish and pathos, Room for One More for the most part opts for a light-hearted approach to its subject matter. In 1962, a TV sitcom version of Room for One More, starring Andrew Duggan and Peggy McCay, debuted as a mid-season replacement over the ABC network; at that time, the original film was re-titled The Easy Way. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Continuing my theme of recording anything that turns up on TCM starring Cary Grant, I grabbed this awhile back and finally gave it a day in court this past week.

    Real life couple Grant and Betsy Drake play a couple with three children who end up adopting three children who have ... read morehad a hard time fitting in with other foster families but meet their match in the Job-like patience of Drake. The movie has some truly tear-jerking moments with the kids, but manages to balance this against enough humor to keep the audience from becoming too despondent.

    Really good film, recommended.

Sensível e tocante, o filme traz Grant (e sua então esposa, Drake) em um dos papéis mais adoráveis de sua carreira.

Room for One More Trivia

  • I came across a question which asked you to name the movie John Travolta and Olivia Newton John stared in together. There was only room for one answer but in actuality they were the lead roles in more than one film together. Granted Grease is the most popular but what was the other one from 1983?  Answer »
