Product Description: This classic 1963 Disney film features child icon Hayley Mills as Nancy Carey, a teenage girl whose family moves from Boston to the New England countryside as a result of their father's untimely passing. Nancy writes to the kindly Mr. Poppem (Burl Ives) and single-handedly convinces him to rent the family a charming, if run-down, house for a mere $60 a year. Ever the optimist, Nancy brims with excitement at the family's new life, but this "perfect world" has its problems--notably an absentee landlord who knows nothing about the Carey family's rental agreement. Through hard work and Mr. Poppem's continuing generosity, the Careys fix up the house and find life in the rural Maine town quite satisfactory. Things become tense when their cousin Julia arrives for an extended visit, but eventually Nancy and Julia grow from one another's experiences and become good friends. You'll never guess what happens when the absent landlord returns unannounced during the family's Halloween housewarming party!

One section that may sit poorly with modern audiences features Nancy and Julia discussing how to emphasize one's femininity at the expense of hiding the real you--an indication of how much American thinking has changed in a relatively short period of time. Nevertheless, this is a charming tale featuring toe-tapping ragtime music, wonderful songs by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman including "Summer Magic" and "The Ugly Bug Ball," and the incomparable talents of Mills and Ives. Take a trip down memory lane and don't forget the kids. (Ages 7 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

5 stars Charming "Summer Magic"
Get that warm "Summer Magic" feeling! This is one of those films that you can view at any time or at any age. Hayley Mills is especially charming and Burl Ives and Dorothy McGuire are just a few in the rest of the superb cast. Get this DVD and watch it some Sunday evening. It will perk you right up!


5 stars Classic Disney! Just Flitterin!
Disneyland has graciously adopted the fine tune of "Flitterin" from this motion picture, and with good reason. It's Disney Main St. USA starring none other than the Disney Studios prodigy, actress Haley Mills in one of her best films for Disney. With many fine supporting cast in Dorothy McGuire, Deborah Walley, and Burl Ives singing some very agreeable songs. "Ugly Bug Ball" is one of them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie, and the only squabbles I can think of would stem from nitpicking any dvd production values.
The plot is simple, an upper crust family must find a suitable place to live after a huge fallout with their good fortune, and investments. Haley Mills, as Nancy the daughter, comes to the rescue by doing some early homework, and contacting a potential house for very conveniant rates in a country town. The elegant country house, however, is owned by an out of towner who has placed it under care of Burl Ives. Meanwhile, a cousin comes to visit the family fixing up the house, with Haley Mills constantly bringing up the fact that the real owner might come back to kick them out. Deborah Walley plays the fine acting cousin of Julia, who is an upper crust snob with very well taught manners. The inner house conflict between Haley and Deborah make up quite a bit of the interior of the movie while the house is undergoing reconstruction. Finally, the homeowner does eventually make it back in time for a halloween party, that fictitiously commemorates his deceased mother. And his mother is still alive!
Needless to say, the original homeowner is a suave handsome gentleman who falls for the vibrant Haley. Fine movie for the entire family, which is what Disney is all about.
