The Moon-Spinners

Start with a fortune in stolen jewels. Add a dash of danger. A pinch of romance. Season with Hitchcock-like intrigue and comic flair. What do you have? A mystery thriller for the whole family . with the Disney touch. Set against the sun-bleached beauty of the Isle of Crete, the story pits a young English tourist (Hayley Mills) against a wily Greek jewel thief (Eli Wallach). Mistaken identities and perilous escapes -- including a nail-biting battle with a windmill -- lead the junior-miss detective to a final confrontation aboard the yacht of an eccentric millionairess (Pola Negri) with a passion for priceless gems and pet cheetahs! Pola Negri, the famous silent film star who hadn't made a film in more than 20 years, was personally coaxed out of retirement by Walt Disney to appear as the treacherous Madame Habib. This was Peter McEnery's Disney film debut, the success of which landed him the title role in THE FIGHTING PRINCE OF DONEGAL. The script called for Madame Habib (Pola Negri) to own a Siamese cat, but Negri suggested the character own a cheetah instead. The filmmakers agreed.
