Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Green Years (1946)

Sweet-natured story about a young orphan going off to live with his extended family. I enjoyed the first half immensely - young Dean Stockwell and great-grandpa Coburn interact wonderfully and really made me believe that they were rescuing each other. Once the hero grows into a young man, the charm dissipates somewhat...but it's still a definite keeper.
