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!

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.

Received right on time!! In great condition. The 2 movies I ordered are gifts and I cannot wait for the person to receive them this week. Will use this seller again, no problem. :)

This is a delightful charming, fun movie. I enjoy it everytime I see it.

This is one of your typical "feel good" movies from Disney with Hayley Mills. Having grown up in this genre of movies, this is one of the favorites. Good family flick!
