In this adventure, Pat Morrison (Burt Reynolds) leads a group of World War II veterans back to the Philippines in search of gold hidden prior to the Japanese invasion. A professional tennis player (Anne Francis) hires Morrison because her aging father’s health won’t permit him to make the trek. Their moves through the jungle terrain are monitored by villains who covet the riches, hoping Morrison and company will do all the work before they step in and steal the loot. Unclear is the reason the woman’s father was dismissed from the army during the war in the Pacific, as well as the motives for the recovery and his absence from the expedition. (fonte: Imdb)… (mehr)

This is a great set, and an even greater show. It’s good clean fun for the whole family, and everybody who hasn’t seen Get Smart, by all means should. The special features were very interesting, not like the documentaries with a monotonous voice droning on about the filming of it, but with interviews with people like Barbara Feldon and the infamously versatile Bernie Kopell. The only complaints I’d have are that the little booklet in front is in such a place that it falls out every time you tilt the box, and that the discs don’t fasten all the time and sometimes come loose. If those are the worst things about it, it must be pretty good, huh?… (mehr)
