CLASSIC CARS AND GREAT CHILD ACTORS!, 25 September 2003
10/10
Author: whpratt1 from United States

Have always enjoyed the Nancy Drew books, especially "Nancy Drew & The Secret Clock". What I enjoy most about the Nancy Drew pictures are the old 1930's Ford's with the Rumble Seats in the back, and watching Bonita Granville(Nancy Drew) "The Lone Ranger" '56 jumping in an out of the old classic cars along with her boy friend? Frankie Thomas "The Major & the Minor"'42. The fake scenery looks horrible by today's standards. However, the old homes and the furnishing tell stories of what was going on in 1938 & 1939. These films were low budget and it appealed to a very innocent generation with a higher standard of living. These films will always remain classics!
