Apart from the location and the names of some of the characters, this film has nothing to do with the plot, characterisation or anything else of Ransome's book. It is a travesty and the writer and producers should be ashamed of themselves. Other reviewers have mentioned the appalling changes to the interactions in the Walker family, the changes to the other main characters, and was it so hard to find an Australian actress to play Mrs Walker that she suddenly becomes Scottish?
If you want to make a film about Russian Spies in 1935, write a new one, not totally screw up a classic story about children.
