Saturday's Children is a 1940 American romance drama film directed by Vincent Sherman and starring John Garfield, Anne Shirley, and Claude Rains. It is a third-time remake of the original Maxwell Anderson play with a previous version released in 1935 under the title Maybe It's Love and Saturday's Children released in 1929. The title comes from the nursery rhyme in which Saturday’s child works hard for a living. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
