| User ReviewJames HAn young orphaned boy is mentored by his colorful great grandfather. Beautifully produced, marvelous art direction, the score is excellent and the acting is wonderful. Charles Coburn deservedly received an Academy Award nomination for his performance as the great grandfather. Dean Stockwell shows amazing range for an actor his age. Great story and screenplay. The fine cinematography also received an Academy Award nomination. Wonderfully done in all areas. Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Selena Royale, Norma Varden and especially Gladys Cooper give great supporting performances. |
| User ReviewKevin SGood old film... enjoyable to watch if you can find it. By the way Dean Stockwell is the boy. |
