Most helpful review In Search Of The Castaways

  • Wonderful adventure-fantasy...plus Hayley Mills!

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By HD (148 reviews) from West Midlands , 09 Feb 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Wonderful adventure-fantasy has a jolly, ne'er-do-well Frenchman helping two children convince a ship's captain that the kids' father, a legendary captain lost at sea, is shipwrecked on an island off South America. It works, and the whole gang faces every form of a raging Mother Nature trying to reach the castaway. Hayley Mills is at the peak of her ladylike charms here, never lovelier than when singing 'Castaway' by guitar or cooking breakfast with Maurice Chevalier in a treetop. Chevalier himself is a wily coot, and Wilfred Hyde-White is also extremely amusing. A gorgeously produced Disney yarn with all the requisite pleasures.10 - 10

    good for its age but we got bored after half an hour and turned it off, over acting and boring

    I had not seen this for years but like a good wine it was as enticing as ever. Maurice 'Let's Climb' Chavalier twinkles nicely, George Saunders is at his villainous best and Hayley Mills simply adorable.

    The kids loved it, especially the scenes where there was an element of danger.

    Good adventurous movie.

    Worth it!
