VHS Movie Reviews of Sammy the Way Out Seal
Movie Review: Vintage Disney, funny, animals, nice old car
Summary: 5 Stars
Sammy The Way Out Seal is your average 1960s Disney family-animal comedy, with several effectively amusing comedy sequences and, probably due to Norman Tokar's direction, a uniquely aesthetic underwater swimming scene, as the 3 children, the seal, and a dog play in a suburban pool. Tokar directed episodes of Leave It To Beaver and several Disney movies including Big Red, Savage Sam, Rascal, and A Tiger Walks.
The story, similar to "Andre" 30 years later, is about a wild seal adopted by two boys played by Michael McGreevey (a Disney regular) and Billy Mumy (Dear Brigitte, Lost In Space, Bless The Beasts and Children).
Robert Culp (I Spy, Greatest American Hero) is the boys' father, and Patricia Barry their mother. Personally, I love the old station wagon they drive.
Jack Carson (Destry Rides Again, The Hard Way, A Star Is Born, etc.) is a town big wig, a business associate of the father. His daughter, the little girl who joins the seal and boys in the pool, is played by young Ann Jillian
Some of the funnier scenes involve the seal concealed in a baby carriage, as the boys try to sneak around with it. In one scene it ends up on an elevator, and repair men think it's a baby, but it keeps pushing the buttons and they, and the boys, run up and down the stairs trying to catch up with the elevator.
There's plenty of mischief and slapstick comedy like this to keep the movie interesting and amusing, and a number of dogs join in for the finale.
