Corny old film shot in North Cornwall and the pretty village of Clovelly in Devon, both places are somewhere in England as another reviewer astutely pointed out. Awful Cornish accents ranging from Cockney through to Yorkshire with a bit of Ooo Arrgghh, Robert Newton pirate speak thrown in for good measure. Embarrassingly awful, particularly for those of us with West County heritage. The poor old donkey looks as if it has mange, which tells us a lot about the care that went into this film generally. Adapted from a story for children by Anthony Trollope. Could be Disneyfied to update it but not really for today's audiences.
