Could’ve/should’ve been funnier, but ‘The Apple Dumpling Gang’ is still an entertaining enough 100 minutes.I had a solidly good time with it, it never drags and has a few decent characters and a watchable plot to follow along. As noted, I think they were going for something way more amusing, especially with Theodore (Don Knotts) and Amos (Tim Conway) – who I liked watching, but they aren’t overly funny.
Bill Bixby (Donovan) and Susan Clark (Dusty) team up to strong effect, while Harry Morgan probably gives the best performance as McCoy. The villains are largely forgettable, though Slim Pickens is OK as Stillwell.
Not much more to add in truth, except for acknowledging the nice set design. All in all, the film isn’t anything incredible but I’d still very much recommend it.
It’s Don Knotts and Tim Conway at the height of their careers…you can’t ask for any better comedy…and this was before Disney sold their soul to the Devil…Bring a friend and enjoy the movie.
Apple Dumpling Gang
I saw the Apple Dumpling Gang when I was a child and I found the film to be delightful. The film is intended to be pure comedy and that is what it delivers.Don Knotts and Tim Conway are both excellent actors and they provided a superb performance in this comedy. This is a show that I was proud to show my children and my grandchildren as it holds wonderful childhood memories for me.
There are a lot of shows out there today that are too violent, and rude. This show is refreshing in that you can be assured that your children are not watching blood splattering or listening to foul language. This show is in true Walt Disney fashion.
Disney hits their heights in the 1970’s with this charming family comedy.
For us late born boomers, Saturday matinees of Disney films was always a great way for our parents to find a cheap babysitter while they went shopping. This Disney film is one of my last memories upset circumstances, and numerous revisits to the film followed with Sunday’s Disney night on TV. So it is a fond memory if not a great film, but 40 something years later, still provides enough laughs to have stood the test of time.TV star Bill Bixby becomes the reluctant guardian for three orphans sent out west to live with a distant relative who asks Bixby to pick up a package for him and quickly leaves town. Bixby is not too happy when he finds out what the package is and Sheriff / Barber / lawyer Harry Morgan tells Bixby that he has no other choice but to take care of them himself. No other couple in the small western town wants them, so it’s up to Bixby with the help of tomboyish Stagecoach operator Susan Clark to raise them.
Then there’s the buffoonish team of Don Knots and Tim Conway as bumbling crooks who couldn’t steal something being handed to them let alone rob a bank. Somehow, Bixby, the two crooks and the kids become tied in together as they discover the existence of a mine, and this leaves a lot of leeway for farcical situations.
Disney went all out in casting this film, putting in David Wayne, John MacGyver, Slim Pickens, Fran Ryan and Iris Adrian, to name a few among its large supporting cast. These familiar faces add plenty of homespun charm and character choose a comedy which is totally unbelievable but without a doubt a ton of fun. Some Disney films featuring a bunch of children can be playing and irritating, but this one is a winner.
