Children Galore is a 1955 British comedy film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Eddie Byrne and June Thorburn.[1] [2] [3] It was written by John Bonnet, Emery Bonnet and Peter Plaskett.
A village squire offers to give away a cottage to a deserving family with the most grandchildren.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The simple rustic humours exploited here prove alogether too simple, and the result is a cheerless and rather tasteless little comedy. A number of character players, affecting a number of rural accents, go down fighting."[4]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Group-3 style comedy has neither depth nor taste; the cast works hard."[5]
In the Radio Times, David Parkinson rated the film two out of five stars, calling it "Fun in a very English sort of way, this programme filler has the advantage of being short and to the point."[6]
