Viewing Notes

Another one off my childhood movies list. And for some reason unbeknownst to me, not available on D+ (so I had to get the DVD from the library). Didn’t really remember most of this but I’m sure I viewed this when I was a kid as all these Hayley Mills flicks were in regular rotation for Disney.

Fun adventure flick that dabs its toe into fantasy a la Journey to the Center of the World. Didn’t realize that director Robert Stevenson basically because a studio director for Buena Vista (Disney) from doing film noir prior to that.
