by N.J. Crisp
Starring Thora Hird, Robert Keegan, James Grout and Henry Knowles

The position of foster-parents is not an enviable one. Sometimes the child may be left with them for years, and brought up as one of their own, before being removed from their care. In this situation is it any use authority telling them not to get too attached to the child? Can you bring up a child without regarding it as your own, and should you? When Ken Buckley's mother wants to reclaim him, his foster-parents counter with every means in their power. A row develops which even extends to the Welfare Committee, headed by Sarah Danby. But this boy is old enough to choose for himself. Which set of 'parents' will he choose?

A season of films starring Bob Hope and this week he is with Bing Crosby in Road to Rio
with Dorothy Lamour and The Andrews Sisters

After nearly wrecking a fun-fair, Bing and Bob stow away on a luxury liner for some hilarious adventures in Rio.
This was the fifth of the famous Road films and in it Bing sings two favourite songs, 'You don't have to know the language' (with the Andrews Sisters) and 'But beautiful'. There is also a brief appearance of that moustachioed gentleman with the long, high-pitched voice, Jerry Colonna.
