smoke_rider Marco is a film that some adults will like.It's a fun loving musical that I quite enjoyed as a child.This film walks a fine line between what an adult who is young at heart might enjoy and what is appropriate for children.The acting of Desi Arnaz Jr. as Marco is weak but the film as a whole is very entertaining.It should be left up to each parent to look at this film first and decide if it's appropriate for their child.I was 9 when I first saw this film and twenty years later I still enjoy it.My final conclusion it's a silly,fun film not to be taken seriously but not to be dismissed either. If you enjoy musicals,flights of fancy,an occasional cartoon illustrated story,and the occasional song and dance number that might make you blush.Don't overlook this movie.

Kenneth Anderson I saw this movie on TV many years ago and haven't seen or heard of it since. My vague memory is of it looking very cheap and international, like the Elizabeth Taylor version of "The Bluebird." The cast all seemed to have been post-dubbed (badly) and the sets looked very small and claustrophobic.Desi Arnaz, Jr. made for a very weak lead and I can't recall a single song he sang. I do remember that he is somehow saddled with a princess who turns out to be a real self-reliant warrior and feminist and that I liked her character a lot. The one song I still remember is one butch number called "By Damn!" which she sings while essentially doing a striptease out of her warrior armor.The film comes to life when Zero Mostel is on screen, causing poor charisma-free Arnaz to just fade into the scenery. It's easy to see why he never took off as a screen actor.Somewhere mixed in the plot is the hunt for whales to get ambergris to put into perfume.
