Charming "Summer Magic"
Get that warm "Summer Magic" feeling! This is one of those films that you can view at any time or at any age. Hayley Mills is especially charming and Burl Ives and Dorothy McGuire are just a few in the rest of the superb cast. Get this DVD and watch it some Sunday evening. It will perk you right up!

Classic Disney! Just Flitterin!
Disneyland has graciously adopted the fine tune of "Flitterin" from this motion picture, and with good reason. It's Disney Main St. USA starring none other than the Disney Studios prodigy, actress Haley Mills in one of her best films for Disney. With many fine supporting cast in Dorothy McGuire, Deborah Walley, and Burl Ives singing some very agreeable songs. "Ugly Bug Ball" is one of them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie, and the only squabbles I can think of would stem from nitpicking any dvd production values.
The plot is simple, an upper crust family must find a suitable place to live after a huge fallout with their good fortune, and investments. Haley Mills, as Nancy the daughter, comes to the rescue by doing some early homework, and contacting a potential house for very conveniant rates in a country town. The elegant country house, however, is owned by an out of towner who has placed it under care of Burl Ives. Meanwhile, a cousin comes to visit the family fixing up the house, with Haley Mills constantly bringing up the fact that the real owner might come back to kick them out. Deborah Walley plays the fine acting cousin of Julia, who is an upper crust snob with very well taught manners. The inner house conflict between Haley and Deborah make up quite a bit of the interior of the movie while the house is undergoing reconstruction. Finally, the homeowner does eventually make it back in time for a halloween party, that fictitiously commemorates his deceased mother. And his mother is still alive!
Needless to say, the original homeowner is a suave handsome gentleman who falls for the vibrant Haley. Fine movie for the entire family, which is what Disney is all about.

This is one of your typical "feel good" movies from Disney with Hayley Mills. Having grown up in this genre of movies, this is one of the favorites. Good family flick!

Summer Magic
Today's kids wouldn't get it, but for me it was a return to childhood when silly things were funny! I still enjoy it and it brought back memories of sitting in my principal's office with a group of girls watching it! Every year my principal (an elderly lady) would treat the 6th - 8th grade girls to a movie in her office!

Summer Magic .....
This is an old fashion Disney movie. It is okay but lacks clarity and a complete story. The acting is fine for the time it was filmed. I can recommend this movie to the whole family.

Hayley Mills movies
I've loved Hayley Mills movies since I was a kid and used to watch them with my mom. Now my daughter's watch them with me. I love the fact that I can get them on DVD because my old VCR tapes were extremely close to breaking since they had been watched so much!

Love it!
I love this movie! Brings back wonderful childhood memories, and I'm glad my daughter still loves it. Hayley Mills, as always, gives a great performance and it's just an all around cute, good family movie. A rare find in this day and age.
