Question
Many years ago I saw a movie set in Ireland, it was on coast or on the countryside, two boys found a baby, one boys' name was "Harry". The only other thing i remember was that the other boy, who was the youngernof the two, wanted to name the baby rover.  Well, that's it.  Hope you can answer this for me! Thanx!!!

Answer
Hello Shellee,

This is a 1953 film called "The Kidnappers". It was actually set in Nova Scotia, not Ireland. The two boys were called Harry and Davy and, yes, the little one did think that "Rover" was a good name.
