Great outdoor color., 9 September 1999
Author: Rich-227 from Coon Rapids, Minnesota U.S.A.

My mother saw this movie when she was twelve and wanted to see it again. I bought it and we both watched it. The story line and action, along with the beautiful color was well worth the price. If others did not know, this movie was the first full length feature film in color.
