DAVY CROCKETT AND THE RIVER PIRATES
(Walt Disney) G Cert. Not one but two Davy Crockett adventures are told in this new film, which even more than the first one is very much a piece for children. (I’m sure many youngsters must. have been confused by the political stuff in the earlier one.) My nine-year-old son enjoyed it very much, and I found it entertaining enough. Besides Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen as Davy and pal, this one includes Jeff York as Mike Fink, "King of the River," and a rough looking crew. They’re good fun. First Davy and Mike are rivals in a down-river race; then they work together to clean up a gang o! river pirates. The setting is picturesque : and the plentiful violent action and excitement is well leavened with humour | The boys will love it. |
