Duncan Macrae, Vincent Winter - The Kidnappers




Charming, unusual and in many ways a memorable British film with the novel background of Nova Scotia at the period of the Boer War. About a God-fearing, strict hut basically just old Scot, Jim MacKenzie and the impact made upon him, his family and their neighbours by the advent of their two small, orphaned grandsons. Beautifully photo­graphed, brilliantly directed and wonderfully acted—the two little boys, Jon Whiteley and 5-year-old newcomer Vincent Winter, give incredibly impressive performances. 1
