Once again, Disney misses the sign with an unfavorable DVD release. Why do we crave seeing our common stars on DVD? Represent clarity, extra features, restored prints, optional commentary… none of which are evident on this terrible release of a improbable Hayley Mills film. Disney’s inexplicable inconsistency becomes evident when terrible efforts such as this one are compared to stellar, awe-inspired efforts such as “The Parent Trap” and “Pollyanna”, multi-disk sets released with quality and features on par with Criterion Collection releases. I give up on buying Disney. Next time, I’m going to rent the DVD first. Why slay money on unusual Disney DVD’s that are despicable in quality to the VHS versions I already have! Hey Disney, wake up!
UPDATE: The web situation did not let me change the stars so maintain in mind the DVD is 1 star and the movie itself is 4 stars.

The DVD release that is listed at this page at the time I am reviewing this… It is not in the unusual widescreen, or remastered. The sound has not been improved from the VHS version. It lacks any extras at all. Place your money and hold your VHS version for now.

FILM REVIEW 4 stars
First off this is a astounding movie, and very novel in its fair Island setting of Crete. It is a fun mystery. Directed by James Neilson, produced by Bill Anderson. Released in theatres in 1964, it starred Hayley Mills, Eli Wallach, Joan Greenwood, and Peter McErney. It is the speedy paced yarn of two tourists that accidently tangle with some murderous jewel thieves. Hayley plays Nikky, on vacation with her Aunt Frances in a limited Greek fishing village. They cease at a remote sleepy itsy-bitsy inn, and designate that a dashing young man that Nikky is falling for from England suddenly dissappears. Romance, drama, mystery, action, and humor are in this film. The actors all work hard to acquire the film believable and do a broad job. Pola Negri who had not made a film in 20 years was convinced to approach out of retirement, and does a incredible job as the treacherous Madame Habib. She lives on a yacht and has a cheetah on a leash for a pet. Young MCEnery went on to appear in “the Fighting Prince of Donegal” for Disney.
There is some favorable cultural stuff, the greek wedding dancers costumes were from a musuem, and the dancers were local professionals. Filming on place, Disney spent a fortune rebuilding the village that had been ravaged by WWII. They passe 25,000 feet of saunter and 2,000 sheets of plywood. The anecdote was taken from a book by Mary Stewart, suggested to become a movie by Mrs. Lillian Disney, but the finished film is handsome far from it’s novel legend. First-rate mucical acquire by Ron Grainer, title song written by Terry Gilkyson.
It eventually aired on “the Astounding World of Disney”, in 1966, ‘67, and ‘82. It even aired in 1975 in conjunction with the “Saturday Night at the Movies with Disney” specials. Released on video the first time time in 1985. If you like Disney films of the period, you will luxuriate in this one too. It is nice to ogle Hayley Mills in her more conventional role.
