Davey Jones' Locker

Arguably one of the best CFF (Children's Film Foundation) films of them all. Beautifully shot in glorious color on ___location in sunny Malta with some stunning locations and equally great underwater sequences. An interesting and entertaining story and very competent acting by all (including a very young Susan George in her second CFF film. The first was Cup Fever made the previous year) combine to make this a visually stunning offering from the CFF. Unfortunately it has never been officially released for home use which is such a crime considering some of the rubbish that they have released. You used to be able to purchase any CFF film directly from them (for a modest fee) which is how I obtained my copy many years ago but since they have handed over their archive to the BFI (British Film Institute) apparently you can no longer do this. Such a shame. One can only hope it will appear in one of their "Bumper Packs" at some time in the future. If you're lucky enough to get a chance to see it, don't miss out!
