I love this movie. Sure, it's full of 50's idealism, but it still has some things to say. This is a movie about parenting. I particularly enjoyed Grant as "Poppy" explaining to one of his foster kids how babies get born. It's idealized because unlike real life, all of the kids turn out as good citizens and grateful children.
This is not one of Grant's best films, but it is worth viewing. I'm waiting for this one to get released to DVD. I have a copy on VHS that I recorded from AMC (before commercials) or TCM but it's getting worn out. I would prefer a pristine, professionally produced copy of this film on DVD, but if it doesn't get released, I'll be forced to talk to a friend of mine with a VHS-to-DVD setup.
