From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler (1973)

The book has won awards for a reason: it’s pure magic and adventure. Who didn’t want to run away and live in a museum after reading this? Just the thought of it gave me shivers of excitement.

But this is not good. Although the child actors are a big part of the problem, there wasn't really anything that allowed me to look past their terrible performances as it all felt like it was put together by amateurs. The only bright spot was Ingrid Bergman, and she didn't show up up until the last act. She pulled the film up an entire letter grade all by herself.
