Bonita Granville plays an excellent Nancy Drew. Sure, she's scatty, flighty...manipulative even but it's a refreshing change from the ole play-by-the-rules Nancy Drew in the books. In this one Ned Nickerson (changed to Ted)is not her perfect boyfriend but he makes the perfect sidekick: awkward, bumbling fool who always falls for Nancy's (his annoying next door neighbor by the way) tricks. Frankie Thomas plays Ted/Ned to perfection! This is a great movie; perfect for the whole family...just make sure the kids can love and appreciate black and white pictures, old cars, clothes and money (five dollars to get the bumper fixed?)
