Horrible treatment of the child
I just watched this movie and couldn't believe that their treatment of the child was considered alright, even in 1942. To build up his hopes, dump him off like a bag of trash at the orphanage.
They could have mitigated it a little at the end by saying something like. "let's see if Chris will give us another chance."
That was the most depressing comedy I've ever seen. Really disappointed with Hepburn and Tracy. And he didn't get top billing from me.
I guess it's like looking at clouds. You see one thing and I see another. Peace.
