How does one write a review for a movie that one hasn't seen in 35 years? A Boy Ten Feet Tall received regular summer matinée showings throughout the late 60's on the local TV station. I have to believe I never missed a one. The cross-country adventure with tigers, elephants, a jungle boy friend, Edward G. Robinson and a gorgeous Aunt has had me searching for a copy for years. Sammy had the ability to make friends, thwart enemies and act like a man all on his own. It all seemed so doable, so within reach, so exotic, so within the realm of "I can do this too". There is magic in this movie, the kind that lights the fire of independence and adventure in a kid.
