March 24, 2007 Kathryn Sinclair (UK) 6 out of 7 found this review helpful I first saw this film when I was about 5 ~ I'm now 25 and still find it wonderful. It is definately suitable for adults as well as children. br / br / br /The previous reviewer has given a great overview of the plot, so I will just add this: br / br /It is set in 1920's London. Lord Southmere has escaped China with a microfilm containing the secret of 'Lotus X', but must prevent the Chinese from stealing it back. br / br /After falling from one of the dinosaur skeletons in the Natural History Museum {"But was it the diplodocus or the brontesaurus?"}, and being held prisoner by Hnup Wan, he confides all in 'Nanny' {Hettie}. But he keeps protesting that he is not a spy, just "An ordinary businessman." br / br /Hettie enlists the help of a couple of fellow Nannies, including young Susan who is something of a tomboy! But despite her best efforts, not only can Hettie not find the microfilm, she fails to keep their suspicious activities from her young charges ~ Lord Castleberry and Truscott. These two befriend Hnup Wan {who Hettie recognises as the son of the Chinese ambasador, and procedes to intimidate him!}, seeing a way to make some money. br / br /But, all comes well in the end {I won't spoil it by telling you!}. br / br / br /Peter Ustinov and Helen Hayes play off each other wonderfully. Derek Nimmo is a credible 'Lord', and the cast also features Bernard Breslaw, Joan Sims, Max Wall, Joss Ackland, Roy Kinnear, joan Hickson, John Laurie, Amanda Barrie, and Jon Pertwee, among others. br / br /The actual use of the Natural History Museum for some scenes adds to the suspension of disbelief. br / br /All in all, well worth watching for children and adults alike! One of the funniest films ever November 8, 2008 Ms. L. R. Fisher (London) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Yes, there's slapstick, but it's the best - see the fight between museum guards and Chinese criminals, using stuffed animals as weapons, or the rematch pitting the Chinese against British nannies armed only with umbrellas and a determination not to take any more nonsense from you, young man! But a lot of the comedy comes from character and script, and perfect playing from all concerned. Ustinov, Hayes and Nimmo stand out, but Roy Kinnear and Geoffrey Pearson are in there somewhere, along with a long string of British character actors. The maid at Lord Castleberry's home has one brilliant wordless moment "Florence will look after you!" (Florence humphs silently). OK, so these days, we wouldn't have Europeans disguising themselves as Asiatics with blue eye makeup . (Can you spot John Laurie and Joan (Marple) Hickson?) One of our Dinosaurs is Missing February 13, 2009 Mrs. Sarah Robbins (England) Been after this for years, one of the best films from my childhood. Still as good, a film you can watch over and over agine. A classic for all ages April 30, 2009 Mrs Luki2 havthem. (Derby UK) We decided to purchase this film for our two boys aged 3 and 4, they have all the modern new releases and this is by far the one that not only do they request to watch, but they quote from. The youngest especially loves the slapstick comedy and it never fails to get him in fits of laughter. It's also a perfect length for younger children. One of our dinosaurs is missing November 27, 2007 Darles Chickens (UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful One of the funniest films I have ever seen br /I was thrilled to see you can get it on DVD I want to share this with my 3 daughters great film lovers with great senses of humours. br /Derek Nimo was brilliant in this film, when I saw this originally many years ago, he was in a british sit com called 'O Brother' he always made/makes me laugh!
