Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Take a stolen dinosaur skeleton and microfilm, throw in some sleuthing nannies and a Chinese secret agent, and let the adventure begin. This is a light, frothy family comedy that revolves around British Lord Southmere (Derek Nimmo), who has smuggled a piece of microfilm containing 'Lotus X' out of China. Once back in England, he is followed by Chinese spies. Lord Southmere escapes into the Natural History Museum and hides the microfilm on a dinosaur skeleton. After doing so, he receives a rather nasty bump on the head that leaves him dazed. As luck would have it, his old nanny, Hettie (Helen Hayes), is also visiting the museum that day, but their reunion is short-lived. Lord Southmere has barely enough time to tell Hettie that he hid the microfilm on a dinosaur, and that she must recover it, before he falls unconscious. Chinese intelligence agent Hnup Wan (Peter Ustinov) captures Southmere. He also wants the microfilm. So the race is on between Hettie and Hnup Wan as to who will find the microfilm first. It's a wacky chase set in the backdrop of foggy London, England. The story is engaging and fun. But as this movie was shot in 1975, there are a few things that are somewhat unsettling, including making all the villains Chinese, and cardboard caricatures at that. --Peggy Maltby-Etra

- A VERY FUNNY MOVIE
I WATCHED THIS MOVIE A LONG TIME AGO ON THE DISNEY CHANNEL, AND I DID RECORD IT, BUT I WOULD LIKE IT ON DVD FOR REGION 1.

- Disney wish list
I have been waiting for some time for Disney to release this title and several others onto DVD. They seem to have some kind of strange schedule for their releases. Perhaps amazon should have a wish list that customers could sign on to to let Disney know what we would like to see?

Rating:

- Great Movie
When do we get this in a region 1 DVD? So many other movies have come out on DVD that are out on VHS. Has anyone else been waiting for this movie?

- One of the funniest films of all time
On last viewing I noticed how one of the many running gags is the send-up of Nanny lore and wisdom. ("Nanny knows best - ring a bell?" Hnup Wan reminds Lord Southmere.) The script is excellent, and great British character actors fill minor roles (the home secretary! the detective team! the museum director!). Even Joan (Miss Marple) Hickson has a tiny non-speaking role. Main flaws are the cardboard and far too sunny Soho, and the casting of occidentals as Chinese with caricature accents and ridiculous eye make up. But somehow Peter Ustinov and Bernard Bresslaw (as Hnup Wan and his looming henchman) are essential. Enjoy!
