    This one i just couldn't get interested in. Just so happens that both my parents LOVE this movie! Hmmm... looks like a generational gap this one.

    The movie is a great Disney live action film from 1959. It most notably stars a very young Sean Connery as Michael McBride. There really aren't a lot of songs in the movie, surprisingly, but the ones that are tend to be memorable and fit very well with the whole theme to the movi...( read more)e.
