This is the one where a group of four people - including Haley Mills and
maurice Chevalier - set out to find Captain Grant. He put a note in a
bottle and sent it down river for them to find. They go along the 37 (or
is it 32?) paralell in the mountains looking for him. They are in an
earthquake and ride a block of ice on a terrific and dangerous journey.
Later on in the film they are stranded in a big tree by a sudden flood.
Here they sing "Enjoy It" as they make eggs for breakfast. Maurice
Chevalier's attitude, humor and songs throughout the film make it a
delight. It also has a great storyline from a book by Jules Verne
(20,000 Leagues Under The Sea & Journey To The Center Of The Earth).
The scenery is great. I know it wasn't shot on location (probably), but
it LOOKS like it was. Haley Mills and Maurice Chevalier are charming and
delightful. The songs are memorable. The action is fast and furious. The
humor is natural to the situation and very good.
This film is definately worth the price of a video rental.
Check it out.
