What is the story like?
Spiners of the Moon follow the adventures of the young Englishwoman Nikky Ferris, which on the island of Crete arrives for a holiday with aunt Frances (Joan Greenwood). Despite less than a friendly reception in the hotel’s spinner’s hotel, Nikky forms a bond with another guest, charming brands of Camford (Peter McErery). When Mark was attacked by the enemy brother of the Histra Hotel Stratos (Eli Wallach), Nikky is drafted in mysterious and dangerous Escapped to find stolen gems and a clear name.
Is that good?
Part of the holiday romance, part of a criminal, this classic Disney adventure is full of mysteries and suspensions from exclusion that makes fun for fun. It’s if you can put aside Monthly Spinners’ Occasional sexism and bigotrium and frequent – although relatively mild – violence.
The cast is a series of mainly British acting talents, which led to gleaming mills as messy Nikky. Greenwood is perfect as aunt Frances – Persfront and called a moment, kind and compassionate. While John Le Mesurier and Sheila Hancock in the point as a corrupt British consul and his two-handed (or just drunk?) Wife. In value for the face, you can find The moon spin to slowly move and old-fashioned but – like Kasheg Up Connery-Ere James Bond, 1950s Hitchcock and Oh Mama! – He has a charm and intrigue-left, stunning Greek island on the landscape, and that it is an important hint of romantic.
