...and do NOT go looking for Dondi to share with your kids. I've got 'em all, kids, four hundred titles of the vilest filth and degradation ever burned into film. I've got Alien Private Eye, three different copies of Skidoo, Puffing Your Profits with Balloons, and two different releases of Night of Horror. Dondi, Chairman of the Board, and The Misery Brothers are the only three movies I own that neither I nor any of my fellow Stinker Ninjas can sit through in one shot. Yeah. It's that bad. Remember, you can't blame the kid for the horrifying lines, the brain-damaged phrasing, or the ketchup-on-pizza accent: this is 1000% on the head of Zugsmith, unless Gus Edson contributed anything but the title to earn his writer's credit. Ever see Sex Kittens Go to College? There's that same sickening feeling about ten minutes in, that there is no God, no hope, and that the balance of the universe can be restored only by deep-frying Al Zugsmith's carcass like a Thanksgiving turkey on the deck of a double-wide for all eternity. Gak, yuk ptooey, and Gah! Prunes!Now, several commenters have mentioned that this isn't available on VHS or DVD. There's one way to find out for sure: google the name of the movie and the IMDb URL for Dondi. Oh, and to save Google money, enclose the name Dondi and that IMDb URL for Dondi in quotes, like, "Dondi www.imdb.com/title/tt0054816/". Them electrons is expensive.Anyway, this way you'll know for sure.

I had seen Dondi when I was a young girl and I loved it. I remember my mother laughing so hard during some of the scenes in the movie. And I did not hear my mom laugh a lot so that was nice to see. I think about this movie a lot especially around Christmas time. I have been looking for this movie for years and I finally found a copy of it on ebay and I purchased it. I can't wait to sit down with my 10 old boy and watch it. This movie is as clean a movie as they get and I thought Dondi was a cute little boy and was a good little actor. I am so excited about watching this movie again and I hope to find anther one to send to my mom, or heck after I watch it I might send it to her and look for another one for me. Some say it is a boring movie, but for me it wilI always remind me of my mother laughing so hard and often throughout the show. I think a lot of families would enjoy this movie as well, especially if you like happy endings.

I loved this movie as a child growing up cause it had all the elements ! I laughed , I cried and I saw action and I would very much like to own this movie so if anyone know's where I can get a copy PLEASE LET ME KNOW NOW !!!!! PLEASE !!! Its the hardest movie I have ever had to find !!! Look at all the stars that were in it , Gail Gordon who later starred on the Lucy show , Patti Page a great singer/actor , and Paul Winchell famous puppeteer who starred with the 3 stooge's in stop, look and laugh and David Janssen all time all star who did countless of movies and last but not least Dondi/David Kory Wow all natural kid with a heart full of gold ! May I never get to be insensitive to these kinds of movie's .

Saw this picture ages ago. Leonard Maltin hit the nail on the head when he said "Watch this film and you'll know why Janssen became a fugitive"! The comic strip was never very good and this film is ten times worse. If it had even a shred of Sci-Fi in it MST3K could swoop down on it for some laughs but it doesn't. David Janssen did fine work in his career but this is certainly the worst he was ever in.
