Title: Hayley's Debut
Product review: Although she was only 12 or 13 when this movie was made, I consider it to be Mills' finest performance. Many of the scenes in which she appears seem improbable - a precocious young, cute tomboy in a poor section of town who tells lies, stays out late at night, refuses to turn in a murderer because she wants his gun, and befriends him as seeks to escape the clutches of the law. Yet despite the improbabilities, Mills makes her character, 'Gilley' seem as believably real as any of the adult characters and gives little Gilley a larger than life character image. Little wonder it is that when Lillian Disney saw this film she told her husband Walt that he must put Mills in some Disney movies.At times, the movie seems a little soap opery, and the price seems rather high but Mills' performance makes it a movie that one wants to see again and again.
