ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE is another feelgood outdoorsy adventure from the team who brought you THE ADVENTURES OF THE WILDERNESS FAMILY, and it even shares much of the same cast. It's a straightforward adventure narrative, based around the classic 'Oregon Trail' template, as a couple of precocious kids decide to cross the Rocky Mountains in order to start a new life in the west. Along the way they hook up with a drifter and partake in the usual adventures involving attacking bears and the vagaries of nature. Not exactly a great movie, very much of its era, but the wholesomeness makes it a good one for the kids.
