About this product
Product Information
Filmed on location in Holland, the made-for-cable THE LITTLE RIDERS is set during the wartime Nazi occupation of that country. Living with her Dutch grandparents in the village of Kirkendam, American-born Joanne Hunter (Noley Thornton) is a helpless bystander in the real-life drama being played out between the locals and German occupational officer Captain Kessel (Malcolm McDowell). Grimly determined to break down any and all resistance to the Nazis, Kessel is prepared to destroy the villagers' most cherished possession: He intends to dismantle the six lead statues--or "little riders"--which revolve hourly on Kirkendam's 300-year-old clock tower, and melt them down for bullets. Intensifying the situation is the growing relationship between Joanne and Lt. Braun (Benedick Blythe), a conscience-stricken German officer billeted in her grandparents' home. Paul Scofieldheads the cast as the clock's caretaker, who also happens to be the head of the resistance movement--not to mention Joanne's grandfather. THE LITTLE RIDERS debuted March 24, 1996, over the Disney Channel.Product Identifiers

Okay movie but the book is better.
The book is a relatively simple, easy read, yet very engaging, can't-put-it-down page turner. The book uses historical fiction to portray the perspective of the Dutch in Nazi Holland. Unfortunately, the movie deviates so much from the book, adding overly dramatic scenes that distract from the true story. Had we not read the book first, we might have given the movie 4.5 stars, but since we read the book first and know what the story should have / could have been, we give the movie 2.5. We recognized several of the actors; sadly this movie was not their best performance.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Always enjoyed this family freindly tale of a very tumultuous war time.
Family friendly, yet characters are well developed and the cinematography has you in the middle of the story. Not too long for little ones and engaging for adults.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
