The default: films the whole family can watch together; any scary or intense moments for the littlest viewers are flagged in the Context Notes.
Why it’s here
A light mystery-comedy with Hayley Mills and Dean Jones.
Context notes
For parents, before you press play.
A kidnapping drives the plot and the abductors may scare little ones, though it's played for humor and resolved; a final scuffle with guns (no one is shot). Nosy neighbors spy on the action, played for comedy.
