I cannot believe I saw this movie on the list of Hayley Mills' best films! It's so awful! Yes there is adventure, there is romance, there is mystery, and none of them is well done. The adventure is so clumsy, and the excitement of it is often interrupted by the annoying romantic moments. For the first hour nobody knows what the heck is going on, and the big mystery seems more like child play. Feels like the plot was written by a ten year old. This movie is also so unnecessarily long, two thirds of the scenes can be edited out and it wouldn't affect the plot at all!
Also... why would a(any) girl have trouble coming up with an excuse for blood stains on a cloth???
