Dantooee This is really a fun movie. The character interaction is cute. It's a great Haley Mills movie. It has suspense, action, romance, love, and a coming of age, pirates, and tickles your fancy quite well. I've seen a lot oh Haley Mills movies and this one of my favorites. I've been searching for this movie for years, really, and after coming to IMDb I was able to use the information I found here and locate it on DVD. Because I have several friends who were also looking for this movie I purchased more than one copy to give as presents. If any one is interested in purchasing this movie it can be found at VIDEORETRO http://stores.warplowmerchandising.com/StoreFront.bok. Believe me this is a great movie. If you get I hope you like it, I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO DO.

marylou1971 I first saw this movie as a young teen and loved it then. It would be great if mca would release it for distribution/sale in DVD format. It is a rare occasion when you get a film that is entertaining without the violence, nudity and language these days. Hayley and John Mills are great together as father and daughter. This is a great story about a daughter and father realizing that it is time to let go of each other with a little romance thrown in with pirates and the hunt for buried treasure. Appealing to all ages but especially to young teens in my generation. I keep watching the TV guide hoping that it will be programmed so that I can sit down with my grandchildren to watch it again. What about a sequel " The truth about fall"!

burmafrd Considering how cheap it is to make DVD's-and how much of a market there is out there for family films- why this is not out is truly puzzling. If they did a bare bones without commentary, etc, it probably would not cost more then a few thousand to produce it. Charge 9.99 for each and I bet you would sell 10,000 easy right off the bat, and a steady sale for years after. There are a lot of grandfathers and grandmothers out there that remember Hayley Mills, and would love to give something like this to their grandchildren. She was just growing up in this film, and fit it just right. James McCarthur fit right in; and what can one say about John Mills that has not already been said. The collection of English character actors also enrich this film- a separate delight all their own. The innocence and fun that this film displays so beautifully is not something you will ever see again. To say no one makes 'em like this anymore is a gross understatement.

merlnron We have watched this movie several times and it still is a fun movie to watch any Hayley Mills or James McAuthur fan will love it and John Mills really plays his part to the hilt. It really deserves to be on DVD....
