Goofs:
Continuity: Near the end, when Donovan and Dusty both land into the river embraced to each other, their hats topple off, and sail away downstream, where Donovan and Dusty would not be able to catch them in time. In the next scene (where they are kissing while standing in the water), their hats are placed back on their heads again just the way they were, as if they had never fallen off. more

One of Disney's best live-action films., 21 May 2004
8/10
Author: CountessM from California

One of the best live-action Disney movies. A sweet story about misplaced children, an unwilling but good-intentioned gambler as a foster parent and two bumbling crooks as the comic foil. Bill Bixby, of "My Favorite Martian" and "The Hulk" fame, plays Russell Donovan, the roaming gambler who is unwittingly stuck with some "valuables." Tim Conway and Don Knotts, a little past their prime, play the hapless crooks known as the "Hash Knife Outfit." Susan Clark plays the tomboy stage coach driver who fills in as the kids mother. It also stars Harry Morgan as the town sheriff. Beautiful scenery, lots of action, comedy, and a fabulous saloon brawl that is the highlight of the film.
