     …and baby makes two. Ginger Rogers and David Niven star in this lighthearted romp through motherhood. Young shopgirl Rogers tries in vain to help a stranger by placing their baby in an orphanage. The caretakers pretty much turn her away, claiming that she is the mother and that she should raise her own. They involve her employer, played by Niven, who becomes romantically attached to her. As they stumble into a relationship, Rogers becomes more and more the mother, forming an irrevocable bond between herself and her pseudo-child. If only the Maurey Povich show had been on the air back then…
