Child in the House is a 1956 British drama film directed by Cy Endfield and starring Phyllis Calvert, Eric Portman and Stanley Baker. A girl struggles to cope with her uncaring relatives. It was based on a novel by Janet McNeill.
TV Guide called the film a "calculated tearjerker"; while the Radio Times called it, "good for a tear or two, though Portman and Calvert are rather oddly cast."
