I have to be truthful, I was really done with this series after the first four Francis movies. I skipped the fifth an sixth to watch this one. I always admired Rooney, but he really wasn't that good or funny in this movie. I really didn't notice that Willis was not the vioice for Francis until I did some reading. The story line, a killing, a castle, a spirt on a horse, and a group of people trying to steel the inherited money from the person who it belonged to. The plot really wasn't interesting, but it keep me laughing througout. The interrrogation scenes were a real boar, lights and all. David Jension was a supporting actor, otherwise there was no other notable actors. And the lamest partt of this show was others learning that Francis talked. For the most part the first four movies kept me interested, but after a while the surprise on the actors' faces when they learned Frances talked got really old. Mind you this is really a series for the younger kids, say up to age 14. It will kep the kids laughing even in 2022. This wasn't as good as the others in the series, but it was still entertaining. Perhaps changing up the main actor O'connor to Mickey Ronney was a mistake. The series should have ented when Chill Whills and Donald O'Connor decided to walk after the sixth film. Its not the worse film I ever watched.
