THE DOG AND THE DIAMONDS is another early instalment from the Children's Film Foundation factory, this time around directed by the Carry On team. This one has the biggest gang of kids I've ever seen in any of these films, and in a nice bit of social commentary they're stuck in a newfangled high rise with a blustering building inspector who hates pets. The usual pratfalls ensue, the plot only kicking in when they occupy an abandoned house with the usual trio of diamond thieves. The preponderence of cute animals automatically serves to make this one mildly enjoyable, although it's rather lowbrow considering some of the minor classics CFF put out.
