An enjoyable story almost ruined by James Horner's syrupy score, and by the bland Disney touch, that still identifies the productions made under this banner. The film was filmed in the days when the company made "Splash", started to do less sanitized comedies, moved into a more dramatic territory, and into more realistic approach to the stories being produced, meaning a more "all-audience-approach" , and treating everyone as intelligent human beings who could enjoy a film together as family. Almost everybody did a fine job, away from saccarine land, in this story set during the economic Depression of the early 20th century, in which a girl goes in search of her father. Meredith Salinger, John Cusack and especially Ray Wise contribute to the film's achievement.
