We saw this movie (A Boy Ten Feet Tall) almost forty (40) years ago and have never forgotten it. Edward G. Robinson is fantastic in one of his best, yet least known roles. The boy Sammy (Fergus McClelland)is a hard worker and shows character growth throughout in his rugged adventure. The story line holds the viewer's attention from beginning to end. Although this has been described as a great children's movie, it is also definitely a movie for adult viewers. There is some violence, but it is pertinent to the story. I would recommend this movie highly to everyone. I have been searching for it for many years and recently obtained a video which I now prize among my favorites. I understand that it has been shown infrequently on television and would hope that more people would have the opportunity to see it!
