Description:
Start with a fortune in stolen jewels. Add a dash of danger. A pinch of romance. Season with Hitchcock-like intrigue and comic flair. What do you have? A mystery thriller for the whole family ... with the Disney touch. Set against the sun-bleached beauty of the Isle of Crete, the story pits a young English tourist (Hayley Mills) against a wily Greek jewel thief (Eli Wallach). Mistaken identities and perilous escapes -- including a nail-biting battle with a windmill -- lead the junior-miss detective to a final confrontation aboard the yacht of an eccentric millionairess (Pola Negri) with a passion for priceless gems and pet cheetahs!
Amazon.com:
Hayley Mills was well on her way to adulthood when she found intrigueand chaste romance on the island of Crete in this 1964 Disney attempt atHitchcock in one of his lighter moods. That means the principals do wind up in a hearse trapped on a narrow street by celebratory but ominous maskedparaders. And that seemingly good guys can and do turn out to be bad guys andvice versa. But it's Disney and Mills, so there are no deaths in thismystery, although gunplay and some scariness do earn it a PG rating. Based onthe Mary Stewart novel of the same name, this 118-minute film finds Mills andher aunt visiting a Cretan village on holiday. In the face of hostility fromtheir innkeeper's brother (Eli Wallach), the pair befriend a fellow Brit. Theyoung man's escapades with jewel thief Wallach draw a beguiled Mills into asometimes perilous adventure involving a harrowing ride upon the sails of awindmill, hiding out in an underground crypt, and a showdown with acheetah-loving millionairess (the scene-stealing Pola Negri) aboard heryacht. Probably a little too sophisticated for those under 8. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Saw this movie (more then once!) in the theater when first released and thought it was great.Ordered one for my family and one for my brother's family when I realized it was on DVD.It is still a pleasure to watch, and a good one for the family!

Thank you.
Rating:  - Hayley Mills fans
Grew up on Disney and Hayley Mills, so this is a "comfort" trip back in time.First class actors including one from the silent era.The plot moves right along to the usual Disney implausible resolution.
Rating: - Moon Spinners
I have not seen this movie since I was a young teenager. I found that I forgot the biggest part of the plot. Happily, it was like watching the movie for the first time.
I have been a Haley Mills fan since my pre-teenage years to this date. For those who are not familiar with Haley MIlls and her movie credits I strongly recomend renting/buying her movies starting with Pollyanna. The viewer will not be disappointed I'm sure.
Rating: - love this movie
By far my favorite Hayley Mills movie...with the drama, action, and romance.It's fantastic.
