Saw this about '74 or so, it was great. Loved the garage door gags, the cats, Elsa and William, the two gals are fine, Hayley Mills especially. Dean Jones had to have been in about 100 Disney things back then,... Full review

Hayley Mills has finally outgrown her kiddie charm and is allowed to try a bit more of a mature approach, but after a while we start to miss the way she was made to act before, with every line of dialogue punctuated by a cross-eyed smile.
