This TV-movie adaptation of the 1965 children's book is a somewhat dry, but still thoroughly entertaining adaptation of an excellent story.
Claudia (Jean Marie Barnwell) is a precocious 12-year-old. She's sick of her steady, boring life in the suburbs of New York City, and decides an adventure will give her the change she needs. She convinces her 9-year-old brother Jamie (Jesse Lee), with his cookie jar full of money, to run away with
