I have seen this movie about 50 times over the years, and very
few films have ever struck the chords in my heart that this one does. The chemistry between Hayley Mills and June Harding is fantastic. In many ways, long before Thelma and Louise, I thought this was one of the best "buddy" films for women ever made. This movie also does a nice job of showing the importance of same-sex bonding in the teen years. It is both hilarious and touching, with lots of nice moments between Mills and Russell.
Rosalind Russell does an excellent job conveying the very essences of truth and beauty. And Camilla Sparv is a stand-out in her role, and the always dependable Mary Wickes and Marge Redmond bring all they have to the entertainment.
