Real-life father and daughter John and Hayley Mills (co-stars of Tiger Bay and The Chalk Garden) headline the swashbuckling romp The Truth About Spring. Tommy Tyler (John Mills, Ryan’s Daughter), an easy-going Caribbean sailor, is searching for sunken treasure with his tomboy daughter, Spring (Hayley Mills, The Parent Trap). Things get complicated in their houseboat when a young, wealthy lawyer (James MacArthur, Swiss Family Robinson) sets sail with them in search of excitement, riches…and maybe even love. Breathtakingly filmed by veteran director Richard Thorpe (Ivanhoe, Jailhouse Rock), the family adventure The Truth About Spring co-stars English screen greats Lionel Jeffries (The Trials of Oscar Wilde), Harry Andrews (Modesty Blaise) and David Tomlinson (Mary Poppins).
