The Hideaways | Year: 1973 Classification: Feature Film Family Directed: - Fielder Cook Actors/Actresses: - Ingrid Bergman Funny personal and pathetic story behind this Movie I enjoyed this movie very much as a kid. The little brother in it reminds me of myself when I was his age. I might have even taken on a few of his habits after I saw this movie.....Gambling on the school bus, hoarding money and drinking chocolate Alka-Selters. I saw the Hideways when I was a 6 or 7 years old and more than a few of those particular scenes I've always remembered even 25 years later. The only problem was as an adult and for many years I could not figure out for the life of me what the name of this dang movie was. I kept thinking it was called the "Runaways" and did research on it based on that title. I wanted to find it to watch it again of course and also so I could share it with kids in the family thinking they'd enjoy it like I did when I was their age. Over the years before the Internet age I had video store clerks trying to figure out what this movie was based on the story I remember and then tried to research it myself later over the internet. I still couldn't figure out what in the world the name of this dang movie was. Then one day entirely by accident I came across the book that the movie was based on called "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" and luckily browsed the storyline of the book and realized that it sounded familiar describing how a sister and younger brother runaway to New York's Metropolitan Museum. Based on that information about 15 years of off and on research was over. The problem I was having all those years was trying to find a movie called the "Runaways" instead of the " Hideaways". I guess that's what I get for trying to hold on to the past. I was so glad to finally know for sure what title I was looking for that when I found a place selling the DVDs for $6.00 over the internet I bought 10 copies to dish out to kids in the family. LOVELY FAMILY FILM I thought this was a well-acted, well-written film that conveys it's message beautifully and will not soon be forgotten by most who watch it. Bergman is splendid in the role of a shy recluse chick. There are too many heart-warming moments to mention. It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling just thinking about this movie. Fine. This movie is a well written good-example of how a book can be transformed into a movie. Highlight: the scene in Macy's department store.
