Die Disney- Verfilmung von 1964 gehört heute zu den eher vergessenen Umsetzungen der literarischen Vorlage von Kästner. Danke dennoch für die Kurzbesprechung !

Daniela,
I recall when Disney showed this on TV in the 1960's. First rate entertainment.
One aspect that people today overlook is that WW2 wasn't that far in the past and Germans were almost always the bad guys or the enemy
that America was at war with on TV - "Combat!" - and in the movies. This movie humanized Germans, I have always remembered turning to my
mom and saying "those kids are just like us", they weren't The Enemy.
Mom then told me - shows you what a dope I was at age 7 - that her half of the family was German which I had never realized,
and therefore I might be a distant relation to those kids onscreen(or at least their characters).
In any event Daniela, I look forward to more of your reviews.

I tried watching this movie a couple of time, but it just seemed too jokey, going for the very easy laughs - that first scene where the guy is eavesdropping on Emil and his mother at the bus stop is just painful to watch. Even the fact that he is wearing a bright red vest, which we know is for the sole purpose of being exploited by Disney's Technicolor masters, is too much)
