More Detail:
HARRIET THE SPY wants to be a writer so she observes people and writes down everything she sees in her notebook. Golly, her Nanny, encourages her with wit and wisdom. Harriet’s life is turned inside out when Golly decides it is time for her to leave. Just as Harriet is learning to make it on her own, her rival, Marion Hawthorne, finds Harriet’s diary and reads her classmates all of Harriet’s incisive observations about them. The truth hurts, and so her classmates attack her. Finally, Golly comes back to tell Harriet that she has to learn to say she is sorry. She does and gets a different perspective on her friends.
HARRIET THE SPY will make you laugh and cry. It portrays the truth of childhood with such vividness that you are there once again. This is a movie you will want to take your children to see to help them understand themselves. There is one unnecessary line when Golly, who has always valued the truth, tells Harriet that she must not only apologize but also lie to restore her friendships. Actually, Harriet does not have to lie. Aside from this line and some minor foul language, this movie is a powerful morality tale. There is some childish name calling and a few exclamations, but whatever is bad is rebuked as such. This is a movie for boys and girls. It is one of my top ten of all time.
