I have this on VHS.I can't figure out why its never been on DVD. Its suitable for all ages and children and adults will enjoy it. Movies not half as good have been released. The movie stars child actress Margaret O'Brien who was a very talented child. Also starred was Dean Stockwell, also a very good child actor. Margaret in the movie ends up being an orphan and sent to her uncles foreboding house in England. The uncle has his own problems and although he takes Margaret in, he is not very friendly towards her. Dean Stockwell plays the part of her cousin and also lives in the house, but Margaret doesn't meet him right away. He can't walk and is confined to bed and is lonely and difficult till later in the movie when Margaret befriends him. Margaret also meets Dickon, who does some work around the big house and the three become friends and have a secret that they all take part in. The story is very entertaining. Most of the movie is in black and white, but in the VHS I have, part of it is in colour. Its a great movie,suitable for all, which is hard to find in todays world. I hope it will be released on DVD soon. The studios missed this one.
