The Truth About Spring [1965] [DVD]

Also known as The Priates of Spring Cove. John Mills teams up with daughter Hayley for the third time in this fanciful adventure that might well have passed for children's entertainment in the mid1960s, but probably won't appeal to today's more sophisticated youngsters.

Sir John hams it up as a crusty sea captain whose brush with smugglers lands tomboy Hayley in the arms of a young James MacArthur (pre-Hawaii Five-O). Lionel Jeffries, David Tomlinson and Harry Andrews go right overboard in support and Richard Thorpe directs at a fair clip.

"Hello, I purchased the DVD – The truth about Spring with John Mills and Hailey Mills last week. I can’t believe it arrived so quickly! I’ve watched it and it’s fabulous, just how I remember when I must have watched it almost 20 years ago. Thank you so much for the great service you provide with bringing favourite movies to DVD. All the best Leanne D. NSW Australia"
