Heartwarming tale which embodies the best in people. Three men of different faiths take charge of a baby they found left at the door step.
The 3 work together to provide harmony in the neighborhood. How wonderful to view a film without bias, where the love of people and community are stressed no matter what one's faith is. In fact, faith of all religions sustains us in providing a terrific film.
The baby grows up in the presence of Margaret O'Brien. Her 3 dads are beautifully realized by Danny Thomas, as the Cantor, who sings Kol Nidre. He would do this 5 years later in a memorable remake of "The Jazz Singer." Thomas is joined by a police officer-George Murphy and Minister Robert Preston.
Of course, things change between the guy with Murphy's marriage to Betty Garrett, in her film debut.
Naturally, a court battle ensues over the child, and Judge Edward Arnold's decision is a little bit too much to take until the 3 are forced to admit that they haven't exactly practiced what they're preaching.
Wonderful film in the tradition of a "Going My Way." Truly memorable.
