Question
Hi Jim
Trying to find an old movie that my mother and I watched on TV in the 70's.  The movie was an old Christmas movie black and white.  The plot was about an immigrant family with many children.  The father dies and then the mother dies and the oldest son has to find homes for each of his siblings on Christmas.  Have not ever seen this movie again and now trying to search for it.  Thanks for any help!

Answer
Hi L:isa,

Yes,...I know that film, and it's one of my old favorites,  "All Mine To Give" .  It starred Glynis Johns and Cameron Mitchell as the parents, and Rex Thompson as the older brother  (with Patty McCormack as his sister. )

Go to :      http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=67069           for a complete rundown of the film.

It just came out on DVD, and you can find it at : www.amazon.com
