    Dated but classic!

    The stunning backdrop of Crete makes up for the slightly disappointing acting talents. Nevertheless, an entertaining British classic from Walt Disney. Recommended even if it is just to help you decide where to take next years holiday !!!

    Three stars for the scenery; one for the plot

    Walt Disney children's film from the early 1960s, the sort of thing that kids used to go and watch at the local fleapit on Saturday morning. Great scenery to advertise the new holiday possibilities in the Greek islands; less convincing plot. Hayley Mills is an infuriatingly wet teenage heroine; Joan Greenwood as her aunt has more about her, but overall this family felt that this film had seen better days.
