A bunch of kids beat a nasty old antique dealer to a hidden treasure chest left by a fleeing Cavalier.

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
waldenpond88 Fortunately this CFF movie is (combined with "Trouble at Townsend" (1946)) available on DVD and also still available as a book by Malcolm Saville who wrote the story for CFF (Children's Film Foundation)."Treasure at the Mill" was filmed in the summer of 1956 at the Ardleigh Mill near Colchester, Essex, UK. The owners at the time, the Harry Pettit family, participated as actors in the movie. The main character John Adams was played by Richard Palmer (who played Julian Kirrin in the 1957 CFF movie "Five on a Treasure Island" based on Enid Blyton's Famous Five series of books, also available on DVD). Hilda Fenemore who played his mother also participated in several other CFF movies.It's a suspenseful story which moves along fast and is lots of fun to watch for any child over 7 years or those like me who grew up watching CFF films on TV. Definitely 9 stars worth compared with many other CFF movies from the same era.
