I could nitpick for ages about this film - however I will confine it to mentioning that numerous anachronisms abound in the movie - while it's supposed to be reasonably faithful to the original novel to the point of the children not knowing what day it is, or what time it is, the actors can be seen wearing watches in several scenes. Add in the excessive use of swear-words among the children, and it definitely leaves something lacking that exists in the novel.
Ironically enough, I saw the movie first before reading the novel, but grew to enjoy the novel much more than the movie.
I hope to one day see the black and white 1960s-era version.
