THE ADVENTURES OF BULLWHIP GRIFFIN is a happy Disney effort in which 14-year-old Jack Flagg (Bryan Russell) heads for California and the Gold Rush after the death of his grandfather in Boston in 1847. The grandfather's death has left orphan Jack and his sister, Arabella (Suzanne Pleshette), penniless, so he plans to hit it big out west. He's followed by Griffin (Roddy McDowall), the prim and proper family butler. Along the way, they get involved with an impoverished actor, a treasure map, and a villainous judge (Karl Malden), while a lucky punch by Griffin knocks out a huge bouncer, earning him the nickname "Bullwhip." The film features plenty of enjoyable action, a couple of catchy musical numbers from Pleshette, and a delightful portrait of California during the frenzied days of the Gold Rush. leave a comment
