ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

Hayley Mills, Dean Jones, Dorothy Provine, Roddy McDowall, Neville Brand

THE LOWDOWN 

His name is "D.C." - short for "Darn Cat" - the sleekest sleuth ever to grace the silver screen! Hayley Mills stars as a young woman with an active imagination who contacts the F.B.I when D.C. suddenly sports a wristwatch around his neck. She's convinced it's a tip-off to crack a baffling bank robbery and kidnapping case. 

Dean Jones is the allergic federal agent who sniffs around for clues only to find love is in the air! An impressive supporting cast: Frank Gorshin, Elsa Lanchester, Roddy McDowall and Ed Wynn, add to the non-stop zaniness.

THE VERDICT

Funny, knockabout slapstick family film that almost defines the Disney live action 60's flick. Hayley Mills is great as always in the lead, here playing a bit more grown up and allowed to be a proper teenager at last. The movie mixes in elements of mystery as well as a little romance and the supporting cast features such luminaries as the legendary Elsa Lanchester and Roddy McDowell. Disney stalwart Robert Stevenson directs with his usual sure touch. A great Sunday afternoon movie.
