Review of Davy Crockett and the River Pirates (1956) by Bill W — 20 Apr 2006
This film is lot of fun. Fess Parker plays Davy, and Buddy Ebsen plays George Russell, his friend and traveling partner. They run afoul of Mike Fink and his crew; Mike is played by wonderful and boastful Jeff York.
Geogre mistakenly bets all their winter's fur I nventory that Davy and he can beat Mike to New Orleans. Mike tries all kinds of devious and underhanded way to win, but in the end, Davy manages to beat him.
Mike is contrite, and he and Davy become friends. In second part, Mike and Davy take on river pirates (from the title), who've been psong as hostile indians and killing settles coming downstream. Of course, they win.
Don't miss this movie; kids will love it. It's fast paced, and filleed with lots of stunts and explosins.
