This is the second of Robert Logan classic films who star in The Adventure of Wilderness family back in 1975. Robert Logan plays the role a farther who lost his wife and decide to take his girls around the on a ship. Along comes Nancy Kyes who's a reporter who wants to go along to write a story on this boat journey around the world. Heather Rattray stars in her role as Courtney Maclaine the daughter of the father. Heather after this goes on to star in Robert Logan other two films and Heather pick up a role on the Young an the Restless later on. As the journey begins they fine another person on the ship a little boy named Jesse (Cjon Damitri Patterson) who jumps on the boat as it's leaving the dock. The journey starts out smooth until dark comes and that's when start to go wrong. This is a great film that the whole family can sit and enjoy and I will give this movie 8 weasel stars based on the beauy of he Island.
... View MoreThis is a great family movie. I watched this movie as a child and loved it. Now my daughter is enjoying it (and so am I second time around). Even though it is a 70s movie it is great to watch something free of drugs & violence. The scenery is a feature with beautiful shots of Alaska. We certainly had a lot of laughs with the exploits of this castaway family and how they survived their adventure in the wilderness. This movie never has a dull moment and you are left wondering what will happen next. I have to say this is the best of Stewart Raffill movies. If you are looking for a good clean cut family movie then this one is for you. Definitely a 10 out of 10 in my book.
... View MoreThis is a GREAT movie! Highly recommended for everyone. I saw this movie as a child and loved it then. Seeing it again, now as a father of two, more than twenty years later; it is STILL a wonderful movie! Today's world is full of harsh news, disrespect, and a hardened society. This is one of those movies that will take you back to a different time when people actually cared about life and each other! I don't understand hendersn75's awful review at all. I live in Alaska. If he knew what it was like to live here, let alone try to film in this environment, I think he would change his mind. I think the cinematography in this film, especially considering being a 70's film, is simply wonderful. This was all done entirely on location, unlike most films of today. If you see this movie and like it, then also check out "The Dove" 1974, a true story. Not as visually stimulating as "Sea Gypsies", but very interesting also.
... View MoreI don't know how in the world this movie has gotten 7.1 so far, because it is the absolute worst. I was flipping through the channels last night and saw it on HBO Family and laughed my butt off through the last hour of it. I couldn't stop watching because it was so bad it was hilarious!!! Even if it is supposed to be a family movie, it still sucked!!!
