Review by Anonymous (posted on 23-Dec-2007)

I saw this movie 24 years ago, and was extremely moved by it. It is a wonderful story about a family that tragedy strikes, and the children are left to take care of themselves. I cried watching it for the first time, and now just saw it on TCM again, 24 years later--and cried just as much. I won't forget this movie title. It is a classic that everyone should see. The children actors are wonderful. I would love to purchase this movie sometime to add to my collection.

Review by Colin Roper, Birmingham, England, UK (posted on 11-Apr-2008)

I have a PAL video tape copy of the film "The Day They Gave Babies Away" recorded from the TV when it was transmitted and I have recently made a dvd copy of it. Every time I watch it I am moved to tears and even if parts of it are watched selectively it is still very moving, a lot of its appeal is that it is based on a true story. I believe that the film was released in Britain in the mid 1950's and was a B picture. Although the film is not perfect I feel that it deserves to be called a classic.
