A nice sweet, feel good movie that one doesn't see anymore.

When I got this film, I sort of discounted it because I did not think there would be much to it (that it would be just another child's film based on a Kate Douglas Higgin children's book), but I was in for a surprise. It is the story of a little boy searching for a home, not so much for himself, but for his sister. Dickie Moore is marvelous as the little boy. It left me with an upbeat feeling, that there is still good in this world. Not many movies strive for that feeling anymore. It really should be a children's classic.
