FROM THE OVER 60 DESK - THREE CLASSIC DISNEY MOVIES THAT MOST CRITICS HATE BUT I LOVE (PART 2)

 

Good evening once again - Here's part two, - 1969, 1970 & 1974 are represented this time, hopefully you'll find one to enjoy. If you haven't figured out already, these are all watchable on Disney channel only or VOD, DVD VHS - n joy

THE CASTAWAY COWBOY (1974) - The one-and-only James Garner does what he does best, a Western part. He plays a wrangler from Texas that gets shipwrecked and stranded in Hawaii. He's nurtured back to health by a family who has one big problem - a bunch of hands that don't know jack about running a farm. That's where Garner comes in hand and saves the day. You may recognize child actor Eric Shea from Poseidon Adventure, he's co-stars right along Garner here and kills it.  3.0 stars/5

THE BOATNIKS (1970) - Oh my, if there was one thing I wouldn't want written on my tombstone, it's "this was the guy who loved The Boatniks." Rather keep that one to myself, ya dig? But hey, we all have our crazy favorites, right. This is mine. I'm actually going to let this vintage trailer speak for itself, it's a goodie.  2.75 stars/5

MY DOG, THE THIEF (TV 1969) - Ok, so this one is a little bit of a cheat as it's actually a television production. It originally aired on Wonderful World Of Disney in two parts. These were combined to make the version commonly available. An adorable Saint Bernard who happens to be a kleptomaniac attaches himself to a goofy weather reporter. Disney stalwart Joe Flynn also stars. Dog lovers can't resist this one!  2.75 stars/2.75
