Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIngrid Bergman, making only her second American film, was borrowed from David O. Selznick Productions to appear in the film. Director Gregory Ratoff also directed Bergman's first American film, a Selznick picture entitled Intermezzo (1939). Writing about Adam Had Four Sons in her autobiography, Bergman said, "At last something my teeth could bite into, but it was not such a good apple. We had a script to work with but the dialogue was made up minute by minute as we went along, and they had no idea how to end the picture. Ruth Roberts [her dialogue coach] was an enormous help, and great affection for the crazy Gregory Ratoff, so it all left a very pleasant souvenir."
- GoofsEmilie returns to the U.S.A from France on a British cruise ship during WWI. Due to the danger posed by German U-boats, especially after the sinking of the Lusitania, cruise ships passages in the Atlantic were ceased until the war's end.

Featured review
My Great Uncle wrote the book.
This is about about my family. My Grandfather is one of the four sons. This is not about Teddy Roosevelt or any other family. My mom considerd the Nanny as her Grandmother. This movie has some fiction in it too. But this is about the Bonner family.
