WALT DISNEY’S THE MOON SPINNERS.

WALT DISNEY’S THE MOON SPINNERS WAS RELEASED ON JULY 2 1964.

STORYLINE : British musicologist  Frances Ferris (Joan Greenwood) AND HER LATE TEEN NIKKI ( Hayley Mills)

ARE  travelling through Crete  recording GREEK SONGS FOR THE BBC.  usually quiet COASTAL TOWN OF Aghios Georgios THEY manage TO GET A ROOM AT AN INN CALLED THE MOON SPINNERS despite THE PEOPLE BEING BUSY  preparing FOR A WEDDING and no one there, except Alexis (Michael Davis), the young teen son of the proprietress Sophia (Irene Papas), he who is fond of spouting current popular Americanisms in his slightly broken English, seeming to want them there. Frances and Nikky learn from Alexis that the unwelcoming feeling is all because of his maternal Uncle Stratos (Eli Wallach), who has become a man suspicious of anyone ever since his recent return from London after being away for fifteen years. Beyond those there for the wedding, the only other guest at the inn is a young Englishman named Mark Camford (Peter McEnery), who they befriend. Nikky is too preoccupied with her own suspicions and mistrust of Stratos truly to see that there is something more sinister in the feelings between Stratos and Mark. Although they don’t say anything to each other directly on the matter, Stratos knows why Mark is in Aghios Georgios and is always skin diving in the nearby Bay of Dolphins, and Mark knows that Stratos, and by association his other nephew Lambis (Paul Stassino), will be after him if he gets too close to what they have hidden in the bay before their intended method of disposal. By getting close to Mark, Nikky may unwittingly get caught up in what is the very dangerous and potentially life threatening game of cat-and-mouse between Stratos and Mark.—Huggo

• Start with a fortune in stolen jewels. Add a dash of danger. A pinch of romance. Season with Hitchcock-like intrigue and comic flair. What do you have? A mystery thriller for the whole family. Set against the sun-bleached beauty of the Isle of Crete, the story pits a young English tourist (Hayley Mills) against a wily Greek jewel thief (Eli Wallach). Mistaken identities and perilous escapes — including a nail-biting battle with a windmill — lead the junior-miss detective to a final confrontation aboard the yacht of an eccentric millionairess (Pola Negri) with a passion for priceless gems and pet cheetahs.
• Young English girl Nikky Ferris (Hayley Mills) and her Aunt Frances (Joan Greenwood) arrive at “The Moon-Spinners”, a hotel on Crete, to a less than enthusiastic welcome. The coolness of the owner is only out-done by the surliness of her brother Stratos (Eli Wallach), recently back from London. But then there is nice English lad Mark Camford (Peter McEnery) with whom to make friends, at least until Stratos and his pal take a shot at him one night. When Nikky helps him hide, she finds the Greeks are after her too.
