There is one great line in the movie: When Michael Caine's character is grumbling to two of the orphan kids how nobody wants them and how miserable their lives are, the kid played by Toby McGuire says - "Well, it beats the incinerator." So in twenty or fifty years, when the Dred Scott sentiment has passed, Hollywood will point proudly to this line as proof they were pro-life all the time.
My favorite Micheal Cain quote is: "that's shocking". He said that on the telephone after being told by a police officer that his wife had just died of electrocution.
