Beware of Children 1960
No Kidding (original title)
1h 26m | Comedy | 18 December 1960 (UK)
Storyline:A young, married couple inherit an estate and decide to turn it into a summer camp for children.User review:David and Catherine Robinson inherit an estate and decide to run a summer camp for the children of wealthy parents who are looking for a nice place to dump their children for the summer. The children are a rambunctious lot, especially the American boy. You can tell he’s American from the little tough guy American slang he uses, an affectation that quite rightly annoys David. The film and it’s characters are engaging throughout although stereotypical. All of the actors were very good indeed but hands down the most memorable and funniest performance is that by Joan Hickson, who was a riot as the drunken cook. It was also interesting to see two Miss Marple’s – Hickson and McEwan – in the same movie. Hickson was also in another movie, ‘An Alligator Named Daisy,’ that featured another Miss Marple, the eccentric Margaret Rutherford. An amusing and pleasant movie that’s worth a watch.
