everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

SKY WEST AND CROOKED is an engaging and long-forgotten little movie, the sole film directed by John Mills. His daughter Hayley stars in the lead role of a young girl disturbed by the childhood death of her best friend, and she gives an interesting, unusual performance here. She's at that awkward phrase, right at the cusp of adulthood (and unrecognisable in comparison to her all-grown-up role in 1968's TWISTED NERVE) but still resembling the Disney starlet of the early 1960s.This is a film of lyrical beauty, finely judged but perhaps too subtle for modern tastes. It's a film which mixes humour, psychological depth, and romance, and it features a matinée idol performance from a very youthful Ian McShane who also shines. Animal lovers will enjoy the film's handling of the more sensitive moments, while it also captures a rural slice of life in England in the 1960s, for all its good and bad sides. The likes of Laurence Naismith, Annette Crosbie, and in particular Geoffrey Bayldon are all very good in support.

This is, in fact, a forgotten film (note the absence of a video or DVD) and a largely underappreciated one. I have found on many occasions Mills's Disney films to be very syrupy and cloying; this one proves beyond that shadow of a doubt that she could act. Obviously, her father, who directed the film, had some knowledge of her capabilities. This performance, and the loving, detailed depiction of the British countryside (mentioned in the other user comments) overwhelm any other minor errors in technical knowhow (the sound and cinematography are not the best) and pacing. This is not a perfect film. One could better describe it as a rough, uncut diamond of a film -- and those are the most valuable of all.

This a wonderful film and as a family we have had many happy hours watching this film. My daughter used to watch it nearly every day as a youngster and has always been one of her favourite films.We often talk about it when reminiscing. My daughter is now an adult and we I have tried to get this film for her;To date no luck. Please could any one help?

I saw this film many years ago on TV, and fell in love with it! I've looked for it ever since. Hayley Mills and Ian McShane have wonderful chemistry, and it is a very sweet story. I cannot find it on video. Does anyone know how I can get a copy of it?
