Review

  • I first saw this more than 60 years ago when Channel 9 in NYC showed it all week. I only remembered the kids and what they did. It was the first time I saw a British movie. I did not know how much I'd enjoy actors like Megs Jenkins, Sydney James, Peter Sellers, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Colin Gordon and the rest in the years to come! James and Sellers have some great scenes together! Katie Johnson from The Ladykillers even makes an appearance. I am an American and don't really care about the British Royal Family one way or another. But seeing the joy on the British people at the crowning of their Queen brought tears to my eyes. Long live the Queen!
