Best movie ever!

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

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.
