THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG SET
THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG(1975):
With Bill Bixby, Tim Conway and Don Knotts, how could
this comedy miss??!! It didn't!! This was a lot of fun from
beginning to end! And adding in Harry Morgan and Slim
Pickens to the mix was genious! B+
A review from Amazon
Bill Bixby plays a 19th-century gambler who inherits
responsibility for three orphans, but the kids in turn have
something of value: a huge gold nugget. This Disney film
from 1975 is an enjoyable potboiler with its sentimentality
under control and the accent on laughs, most of which are
provided, not unexpectedly, by Tim Conway and Don Knotts
as thieves who want to get their hands on the treasure. An
easy, safe film for children. You can't go wrong with this. --Tom Keogh

The sequel, while not quite as good as the first, still sees
Tim and Don doing their wacky imitation of bank robbers!
Trying to go straight, they still manage to find themselves
in a heap of trouble! B
From Amazon.com:
The 1979 sequel to The Apple Dumpling Gang reunites Tim
Conway and Don Knotts as thieves with hearts of gold, this
time helping out a soldier (Tim Matheson) whose commander
(Harry Morgan) is being undermined by a villainous lieutenant.
The film is for kids, but the adult-heavy plot takes this movie
in a different direction than its predecessor, which focused
on three adorable orphans. The slapstick comedy is good,
and supporting cast, Morgan, Matheson, Ruth Buzzi and Jack
Elam, are enjoyable, but the freshness of the first film is
missing. --Tom Keogh
