On This Day...Room For One More (1952).

 Room For One More was Cary Grant's 57th full length film  and was released on this date in 1952. It was his second film with Betsy Drake, his 3rd wife.

Summary:

Anne (Betsy Drake) and "Poppy" Rose (Cary Grant) are the average American family, with three quirky kids. Anne has a good heart and gives lost cats and dogs a home - and one day also the orphan Jane, a problem child who already tried to kill herself once. 

At first Poppy is worried and wants to get rid of her, but with love and patience they finally manage to integrate her into the family. Just then Anne invites another orphan, the aggressive handicapped Jimmy-John, to their summer vacation.

"As the father, Cary Grant...witty, debonair, but always real."
