The Moon-Spinners
The Moon-Spinners is a 1964 American mystery film starring Hayley Mills, Eli Wallach and Peter McEnery in a story about a jewel thief hiding on the island of Crete. Produced by Walt Disney Productions, the film was based upon a 1962 suspense novel by Mary Stewart and was directed by James Neilson. The Moon-Spinners was Mills' fifth of six films for Disney, and featured the legendary silent film actress Pola Negri in her final screen performance.
Why it should be riffed:
1. The scenery in Crete is quite lovely.
2. A teenage Hayley Mills.
3. Pola Negri’s last performance.
4. The terrible sexist script.
