The Truth About Spring (1965)

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I have the DVD of this movie. I found it on the internet. The case appears to be the original but the DVD is a copy. Full length movie from start to finish with full opening and credits. This is an excellent production and I have been searching for it (just like those who have commented here) for a long time at video stores. Apparently some company actually made a recording of this film. I have it now and it plays very clearly. [email protected] enjoyed this film at its original release and remembered it as a good film to show my family. I especially like it because her real life father - John Mills - plays her father here too. He was best remembered in Swiss Family Robinson by Disney.

I was teenager when I saw that movie. Actually I was always dreaming this movies and I still remember some parts. Now I am 54 and unfortunately nowadays teenagers do not have possibilities to watch this kind of bright pictures. All new pictures are having violence, blood,terror, fear.....and all similar. The children grow anti - social and are trained only for harming the others. I would like to know if I can find the DVD of this picture? I really want to watch it again and want to show all teenagers and ever younger ones. Can anyone inform me about the availability of it's DVD. I will be thanking for those who informs me.

This is a wonderful movie. It was played frequently during my teenage years and I always watched it. It is one of my favorite movies. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it on TV in years.There is something for all audiences in this movie. It might not have all the flashy special effects we find today, but is so entertaining. It is funny, romantic, and wholesome. Pirates add some action scenes for those who need to see battles. Also, most of the film takes place outside and the scenery is beautiful.Haley Mills is so charming and innocent. She is also quite humorous without trying to be. James MacArthur was also very entertaining. He was a gentleman. James portrayed someone so out of his element yet happy to be there. So many people are waiting for this movie to be released on DVD. Why hasn't Universal made this movie available? Come on Universal ... what gives?

Hi, I'm wondering why this film was never released on vhs video? This is, by far, one of Hayley Mill's best films ever. The story is great with humor, romance, adventure, and suspense! If it ever comes on television, be sure not to miss this over-looked classic!
