  Directed by Philip Leacock (who was also nominated for The Jury's Grand Prize at Cannes in 1954 for this 1953 British film. Two Canadian orphans (Jon Whiteley & Vincent Winter) are starved for affection. Their cantankerous, self-absorbed grandfather (Duncan Macrae) pays very little attention to them. The boys borrow a baby so they can raise it as their very own, while the real parents--and the police--scour the countryside in search of the missing infant. Interesting to note that both Jon Whiteley & Vincent Winter won Honorary Juvenile Oscars for their perfomances.
