Sail into yesteryear with Ransome’s classic story.
Wishes do come true, after all…

When, as a boy, I read through every one of Arthur Ransome’s novels, I dreamily wished that somebody would adapt them to film. It took longer than I’d hoped, but at least today’s children can see something of Ransome’s stories, even if they don’t read any of his books (although, that is a shame).

Sure, the plot has been shortened significantly but you expect that when four hundred pages of novel are adapted for the screen. Still, the screenplay even manages to include the charcoal makers, Old and Young Billy (Jack Woolger and John Franklin-Williams), which surprised me.

In short, the story is about the four Walker children (John, Susan, Titty and Roger) holidaying on Coniston Water, sailing on the lake, camping on Wildcat Island (Peel Island, actually), meeting and clashing with the Blackett sisters (Nancy and Peggy), and finally performing a valuable service for Captain Flint, uncle to the Blacketts. It’s nostalgic; it’s inoffensive; it’s family fun for families; it’s a perfect story for all children.

For myself, I thought Kit Seymour (playing Nancy) lacked the strength of character evident in the stories; looked a bit too old for the part, also. The Walker children were well cast and acted their parts beautifully, I thought. Virginia McKenna, appearing only briefly as Mother, was suitably adult for the times. Reginald Fraser as Captain Flint was okay; Robert Morley would have been a better choice, I think.

Being somewhat of a purist, I would have preferred black and white cinematography as a better mood setter. However, the colour print certainly enhanced the beauty of the lake and surrounding area. Overall, I can’t complain. I’m looking forward to experiencing the TV stories of the Coots on the Norfolk Broads. And, with fading hopes, I’m wondering when a benign producer will put the money up to adapt Peter Duck or Missee Lee for the screen. Hope never dies, however…

Recommended for all children from seven to one hundred and seven.
