I saw this movie 2 years after high school. I loved it then as it was an adventure. After watching it now, 43 years later, I realize it's dated. The actors didn't turn in Oscar winning performances. But it's a fun, family-friendly story that lets me know it's ok to be a city dweller. I have no sailing experience and very little camping skills. I would NOT have faired as well as this little family.
I wish the movie name had stayed Sea Gypsies, as the title Ship Wrecked kind of gives it away.
I love the theme music. I don't think movie music ever gets enough credit. I LOVE movie soundtracks! And I LOVE musicals-not that this is one.
I thought the romance element and blending of people into a family was a nice touch. I was impressed by the problem solving skills portrayed and the ability of the family to roll with the punches.
To enjoy this movie, you should move your thoughts back about 40 years when life was SO much more simple. I think it's a fun, feel-good treasure. Still.
