...Hobbs Takes a Vacation. Dad (James Stewart) has a voice like a defective windshield wiper. Mom (Maureen O'Hara) is a handsome illustration of what Oscar Wilde meant when he said that women as a sex are "sphinxes without secrets." Son (Michael Burns) is a TV idiot, who blinks like a mole in daylight. Daughter (Lauri Peters), upset by her teeth braces, keeps her face knotted in such a wooden expression that she could pass for a ventriloquist's dummy. It would be better if these people had never met, but in this family-situation formula comedy they...

If he faced it, he would have to give up his unnatural attachment to the girl, and this he cannot...
When the firemen round up The Phantom on Pony-Penning Day, there is a dividend-a beautiful white foal named Misty. Paul and Maureen rush to buy the pair with the $102.40 that they have saved up. But they are too late; The Phantom and Misty have been sold. Sensitive ten-year-olds may be assured that matters right themselves, and that Paul and The Phantom are soon outracing an uppity out-of-town boy on a big brute of a horse named Black Comet. Sensitive parents will be glad to know that the whole thing is handled with skill...
