Oliver Pease gets a dose of courage from his wife Martha and tricks the editor of the paper (where he writes lost pet notices) into assigning him the day's roving question. Martha suggests, "Has a little child ever changed your life?" Oliver gets answers from two slow-talking musicians, an actress whose roles usually feature a sarong, and an itinerant cardsharp. In each case the "little child" is hardly innocent: in the first, a local auto mechanic's "baby" turns out to be fully developed as a woman and a musician; in the second, a spoiled child star learns kindness; in the third, the family of a lost brat doesn't want him returned. And Oliver, what becomes of him?

| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzStrained slapstick comedy with a star-studded cast. |
| User ReviewRoosterGreat movie, funny, and entertaining, a great cast, I highly recommend seeing it. |
| User ReviewIngrid GAll of the stories mixed in here could have been their own movies, I didn't even care about the main character anymore by the end. |
| User ReviewKasey SI heard someone say baby... An aspiring writer is down on his luck and can't write anything worth reading but worthless animal stories. His wife gives him a line to ask people, "tell me how a child has impacted your life." The reporter asks famous musicians, actresses, and politicians this question and receives unique stories of cruel children that impacted their lives for the better. "What types of eggs are those?" "Chicken eggs, whatja think?" Four directors collaborate to deliver this interesting picture containing a wide range of characters and situations. The plots were interesting and felt like a series of short stories within an overarching primary plot. The characters are interesting and fairly well developed. The cast delivers above average performances and includes Burgess Meredith, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, Paulette Goddard, Fred MacMurray, and Harry James. "Do you have to wear the bathing suit for the contest?" I DVR'd this some time ago off Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and finally got around to watching it. I was impressed by the cast and their performances and the kids were interesting and fairly unpredictable. Overall, this is a fairly average movie that could have been better but was worth a viewing. "You are a very mean, nasty little girl." Grade: C+ |
| User ReviewAj VA drama anthology film if that interests you, I found it annoying, they should have stuck with the first story. |
| User Reviewjay nHow'd they get so many top rank stars to appear in this meager offering? Not dreadful but very minor. Jimmy & Henry's segment is the best plus there's a chance to see MacMurray & Demerest team up years before My Three Sons. |
| User ReviewDerek VI'm a Vidor junkie! Must see this film...even if it's bad like THE FOUNTAINHEAD! |
