...takes more than two hours for everything to work out perfectly. In the meantime, several geese are shot down, which means that some rich, heartless hunters have to be driven off. While Ed Wynn and Walter Brennan spew local color, Brandon deWilde survives hand-to-claw combat with a snarling wolverine, beats up the town bully, and finally notices that his childhood playmate (Linda Evans) seems different, somehow, now that she's 17.

...bear no grudge against these parasites upon prediction in an era that slavers to know the future. It is not their fault that they are tolerated.
