    Real Life Based Film
    Hi I was wondering if anyone knew the title to this film...

    Its about this poor married couple that live in a small town and the wife gives birth to about 5 or 6 babies at once but because they are sooo poor... they can't afford to look after them or anything and this rich couple see the babies and want them... and they get them... but near the end the poor couple get their babies back... if anyone reconises the story to this film (not sure of the year) please let me know the title to it if you know it thanks a lot

    Do you perhaps mean "The Dionne Quintuplets", a TV film made in 1978, which told the story of the Canadian quintuplets.

    When the girls were just infants, the premier of Ontario issued a court order removing them from parental care. Cut off from the world and their family, over-publicised, viewed twice daily in a special viewing compound, they grew up as prize exhibits. The film utilised old newsreel footage and home-movie sequences to depict this historic event that became a tragic exploitation of a family.
