Poor imitation of Die Hard.G Butler is no Bruce Willis.Plenty of action for the video game crowd so passes the time.

Would Have given the series 5 stars but series 2 and 3 spoilt by bad acting of of John Stone.Only appeared due to relationship with Miss Lockwood and subsequent treatment by him leaves a nasty taste and makes some scenes unwatchable.What started out as a series about a female lawyer and her cases became more and more a soap opera and a boring one at that.

As a fantasy film you cant get much better.Yes the special effects are naff and cheesy but that is part of its charm.Remember watching this at a ABC kids sat morning show and 50 years later it stands up well.

An enjoyable little film.With films depicting sport its nice if the actors look as though they are reasonable at that sport and in this film the kids playing football look as though they know what they are doing.Whilst the publicity regarding the film details the appearance of players of Manchester United non other than the manager has a speaking part and so this does not over shadow the main plot or actors of the film.

Its a typical british film of its time which is not helped by the miscasting of Donald Sinden in the title role.Dora Bryan steals the film from her female co-stars with some amusing asides and physical comedy although Barbara Murray and Carole Lesley do look suitably glamorous.

A pleasant way spend 90minutes.Most of the cast succeed in producing a scots accent that appears genuine.

Whilst this may have been a box office flop possibly due to it be labelled a comedy,for me it was pleasant way to spend 90 minutes.I found all the performances ok with the female members of the cast dominating the proceedings.

This film must be one of the worst of Fred Macmurray's career.The use of stock footage from various films are obvious as are the numerous studio scenes trying to replicate the great outdoors.The acting is also sub standard and the action scenes when staged are poor with padding of shirts etc to take the indian arrows all to obvious.

Poor imitation of Airport.The heroics of Charlton Heston's pilot is laughable.

Regardless of reviews comparing it to Hawks 'Bringing up Baby'I find this superior in one aspect.That is the performance of Paula Prentiss.A finer comedic tour de force you couldn't better.I also disagree with the director who said Rock Hudson was not good in comedy roles,I think his CV both in film and TV proves that comment is rubbish and was said to cover up the directors dreary and uninspired direction.
