Well, that's what some group called the Beatles sang sometime - but in this film little Jimmy gets all the love anyone could want and still isn't satisfied. Thing is, the nice couple who love the child are complete strangers. He much prefers the comfortable middle-class life of a couple he regards as his parents.
Both sets of adults are white and presumably Christians, but it is CLASS that apparently makes all the difference. This film could have explored this in more depth, but the makers opted for a more run-of-the-mill approach.
One minor criticism is that the new man who enters the leading lady's life is too good to be true. He should have some flaws other than a homely face!
But a BIG PLUS is that the working class folk in this screenplay are not treated stereotypically as in so many other films.
And anyone who likes a taste of post-war Britain should enjoy this ultimately uplifting look.
