Curious As To What Form You All Watched This Movie In


I watched this movie when I was like 8 or 9. It was borrowed from a family friend who had recorded it off TV. Had the commercials and everything.

I saw this movie a couple of times on WGN out of Chicago in the 70's when they had a sunday movie show called Family Movie hosted by Frazier Thomas. The movie struck a chord with me as a kid. Just watched it for the first time since childhood this afternoon on TCM, this time commerical free and Ben Mankiewicz doing the intro and outro comments rather than Frazier Thomas.

Just saw it on TCM.

On an unrelated note, did anyone else think the mom was off her rocker? Adopts two kids when they already have three, forced her husband to give up their own room, takes her hands off the wheel of the car while in traffic(and giving uo control to a child), spanking the crippled kid, etc. Overall, a decent family picture though.

I saw it for the first time (as far as I can remember) tonight (Thanksgiving), as part of Turner Classic Movies' brilliant all-day Thanksgiving line-up of family-films from the good old days! :-)

Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!

I can't recall exactly when I first saw Room for One More - sometime during the mid-to-late 1980s - but I saw it on Cinemax, back when they used to show a lot of older movies.

Just caught it on TCM this morning. Cary Grant is the star of the month for December. What a sweet movie! Glad I was able to watch it.

TCM shows it every once in a while. Just rewatched it November 2016.

I'd watch Cary Grant read the phone book. What a charismatic star he was! Nobody like that today, nobody. Clooney is okay, but he doesn't have that wonderful physicality Cary Grant had. So elegant always, no matter what role he played.

I downloaded either a dvdrip or a hd tv rip.
