This film moves at a fast enough pace to keep all ages happy.
It reveals the era of the Depression with total respect for the people of the era.
The film takes the high road in which moral decisions are clearly understood.
There is also a mystery and it is interesting.
All the acting is fine and there are a great variety of actors of all ages.
This film reminds me that movies are not suppose to be aimed at one particular age group in order to improve ticket sales.
This is just a good old fashioned movie.
10 year old Kit lives in a boarding house her parents own in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has a passion for writing, & dreams of having something of hers put in the local paper someday.
