Now, as a man who really doesn't much like children in films unless it's "Oliver!" (1968), I guess I was asking for trouble when I started to watch this.

ntirely awful. The young girl wins an essay competition with a first prize of a summer camp experience in a facility frequented by wealthier girls. She arrives and is shunned by her hosts - except one of the teachers, and what follows is a depiction of just how cruel young children can be to one another. Our spunky heroine is not to be deterred, however, and she perseveres... No, there are no twists or turns, it turns out exactly as you would expect. Shirley Mills is quite good as the rather spoilt brat "Cecilia" and C.

You will either adore the singing or you won't (I didn't) and I suspect that will define how much you enjoy this. If you like the first ten minutes, then this is for you... if not, well...
