The Sea Gypsies

This film is a near technical disaster as city folk attempt to survive in the wilds of Alaska, yet the photography and the superb participation by the animals, as well as the credible acting of the human participants bring off a pleasant and suspenseful film for any family. Overlook the technical improbabilities and enjoy a thoroughly enjoyable film.

The best way to describe this film would be that it has a first rate story, second rate acting and third rate production values. What do you expect from a late 70's film? You can line up "Rollercoaster" & "Scavenger hunt" along the edge as well-what you see is what you get.

This is a good story, it's just isn't executed very well. This would be a better movie if they have good production values-it just doesn't. I was never crazy about Robert Logan from "Wilderness Family" fame. Isn't any wonder why he isn't well known?

A family attempts a voyage around the world on a sail boat-that run into trouble-you guessed it-A storm and they are shipwrecked. Do I need say more?

I enjoy this movie on a rainy day when I want pass 1 hour & 40 minutes or so of time.

This is a great family movie. I watched this movie as a child and loved it. Now my daughter is enjoying it (and so am I second time around). Even though it is a 70s movie it is great to watch something free of drugs & violence. The scenery is a feature with beautiful shots of Alaska. We certainly had a lot of laughs with the exploits of this castaway family and how they survived their adventure in the wilderness. This movie never has a dull moment and you are left wondering what will happen next. I have to say this is the best of Stewart Raffill movies. If you are looking for a good clean cut family movie then this one is for you. Definitely a 10 out of 10 in my book.

This is the second of Robert Logan classic films who star in The Adventure of Wilderness family back in 1975. Robert Logan plays the role a farther who lost his wife and decide to take his girls around the on a ship. Along comes Nancy Kyes who's a reporter who wants to go along to write a story on this boat journey around the world. Heather Rattray stars in her role as Courtney Maclaine the daughter of the father. Heather after this goes on to star in Robert Logan other two films and Heather pick up a role on the Young an the Restless later on. As the journey begins they fine another person on the ship a little boy named Jesse (Cjon Damitri Patterson) who jumps on the boat as it's leaving the dock. The journey starts out smooth until dark comes and that's when start to go wrong. This is a great film that the whole family can sit and enjoy and I will give this movie 8 weasel stars based on the beauy of he Island.

This is one of the best Stewart Rafill films. The plot and story are exciting and well written. The acting is well done, particularly the character played by Mikki Jamieson-Olsen. The location wilderness settings were beautifully photographed. An excellent and very memorable film.
