Movie Info

Young Mary Grant (Hayley Mills) and her brother (Keith Hamshere) travel to Scotland with their friend Professor Paganel (Maurice Chevalier) to attempt to convince Lord Glenarvan (Wilfrid Hyde White) to help locate Mary's missing father, Captain Grant (Jack Gwillim). As Grant was working for him, Glenarvan agrees, and the group sails to South America and then Australia in search of him. They eventually meet the treacherous Thomas Ayerton (George Sanders), who may know the captain's location.

Audience Reviews for In Search of the Castaways

  • Jun 12, 2012
    It's live action, family Disney so the ending is never really in doubt. And, because of its pedigree, nothing even comes close to scandalous. It is dopey and goofy looking back on it now, but it is harmless fun. Some accents are difficult to understand and the main characters appear to share one brain (they're terribly dim). But, then again, if they were smart, there wouldn't be a movie.

    Chevalier and Mills keep interest, but the Disney-fied action sequences stretch credibility further than even the worst Indiana Jones flick. Dated effects don't help either. Worthy of keeping young children and the nostalgic entertained.

    It was a cute movie, some really funny parts. I almost didn't finish it, but I saw it to the end and it was okay. I wouldn't see it again, though.
