The Clue of the Missing Ape

An earlier Children's Film Foundation effort, not one of their most spectacular or enervating but still enjoyable to a large degree. This one boasts an excellent and unusual setting in the Rock itself which is good because the plot is quite typical of its kind, although with a harder edge than usual. There are at least two excellent stunts involving kids that I wasn't expecting along with tougher villains who don't mind using guns to get their way. Plenty of action and incident and an amusing George Cole just on the cusp of stardom.
