This is a great film just to kick back and enjoy! Pretty straightforward and enjoyable! Haley ISN"T a child anymore but a grown up woman here! And guys I don't know about you but I could watch her walk around in that beautiful nightdress set all night! Why don't women wear such pretty gowns anymore? It's a real shame they stopped making such great things!! She is sexy just because she is so innocent but looking like she is wanting to lose that virginal state someone was talking about! Anyway this is long gone as is Crete of that day! But it shows it as it was before the tourists ruined EVERYthing EVERYwhere!! It's still a great place to visit but not in the summer, any of the Greek islands for that matter!

Based on Mary Stuart's novel, The Moon-Spinners is a nice and amusing adventure comedy. Constructed a little bit like an Hitchcock movie, where tension is building up slowly but surely and where many characters are not always what they seem to be, it is filled with memorable scenes (the escape from the windmill, for example) and good humor. Although she may not be as sparkling as in Pollyanna or The Parent Trap, Hayley Mills is nevertheless still the star of the show, both charming and endearing. Furthermore, as a beautiful grown up, she is portraying a modern heroin, not afraid to take charge of her own detective work. As the villain, Eli Wallach is also particularly brilliant. Eventually, the music and, especially, the title song by Terry Gilkyson are lively and enchanting.

First off, I am a fan of Hayley Mills. That is why I saw this film in the first place. I like her work and this Disney film has a certain draw that I enjoy.The setting (actually filmed there) is great and the music a nice backdrop. McEnery adds a nice romantic flair. What can I say? I liked him. I'll admit that the film has its faults, and it is not on any of my top film lists. The film drags on in several chunks of the story. You can read more on the plot from others, this is just my opinion overall.But, if you like Hayley in late Disney style, off the coast of Greece somewhere helping McEnery against jewel criminals,... then this flick is for you.:) GRADE: Low B

As a child, I was raised on the Moon-Spinners. Now, as an adult, I enjoy the movie even more! If you're looking for a great quality film then this isn't the one, but if you're looking for a fun family movie appropriate for all ages then this is it. It's about an English girl who goes with her aunt to Greece. While there, she meets an English young man who has gotten himself into a bit of trouble. It's a mystery/adventure/romance that epitomizes all cheesy films of the time. However, regardless of the so-called "cheese factor" in it, it's still a good movie that will always be one of my favorites and I recommend it to all.
