mike48128 If I did "see" it, it was on Walt Disney Presents and it wasn't on a color TV. A fabulous cast: Janet Blair, Buddy Epsen, Walter Brennan, John Davidson, Lesley Ann Warren, Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Richard Deacon, Wally Cox, and others. A few "humable" Sherman Bros. songs. One song-after-another in the first 20 minutes may put you off at first, but stay with it. The family band wants to sing at the Grover Cleveland rally in St. Louis, but instead ends up resettling in The Dakota Territory. A somewhat predictable plot involving romance between Lesley and John and some family political disagreements. The last 30 minutes of the movie really "click" and thus I "upgraded" my initial rating from 8 to 9. A rousing full cast "dance" number followed by a "brawl" in which nobody really gets hurt, Disney-style. (Walt Disney died before the film was completed and it was released 18 months after his death.) Perhaps the last live action musical Disney Studios film until the very recent Beauty and The Beast? Walter Brennan does an outstanding job and "holds" the movie together!

dear1953 This has to be one of the best Disney movies ever. I haven't seen it in a number of years but will be so happy when it comes out on DVD so I can have a personal copy and can share it with my grandchildren. I remember watching it after Goldie Hawn was a big name and I recognized her right away. Of course, Lesley Ann Warren and John Davidson are as good here as they were in "The Happiest Millionaire". I got my 6 year old grandson hooked on that one. If you want the old Disney classics, this is a must for your collection.

ldslady11 I saw this film as a young child and never forgot it. Regrettably it was never available to view on VHS. It wasn't until years later that it came on cable and I watched it with pure delight. This is one movie that for some reason as been long overlooked and never brought to light like so many of Disney's other movies. It is a gem and one that I would dearly love to own. Do so wish it was available on DVD. If you ever get the chance to view it it is well worth the time or expense to do so.

btyjohnson Ever since I was little I got a kick out of this movie. I always loved the lyrics the actors, and especially the movie. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase a copy before it went out of print, and became so hard to find. And I suggest it to anyone who wants a good musical.
