Ed Parker: Say, young man, do you know the best way to cook a goose?
Dell Fraser: Eh?
Alf Simes: He wants to know if you know the best way to cook a goose.
Dell Fraser: No.
Alf Simes: [shouting] He says "no", Ed.
Ed Parker: Oh.
Alf Simes: [to Abbott] He's kinda hard o' hearing.
Ed Parker: Well, Sir, you take a goose and you put it in a pan. And you take a hand, a big hand, full of bread stuffing, you know? And then you mix that stuffing thoroughly with about, eh, oh, I'd say a half a jug of hard cider. Then you put in a pinch of nutmeg, just a pinch. Then you baste the goose for about, er, oh... about three hours. You baste it with a pint and half of good Jamaica rum.
Dell Fraser: [skeptically] yeah, well...
Ed Parker: Then, you throw the goose away. And you drink the gravy!

"Those Calloways" is a live action DIsney film which has long ago faded into obscurity. I decided to watch it because of its impressive cast. However, if you try to watch it on Disney+, you are forced to watch a quick blurb about how the film isn't politically correct. The only 'offensive' things I saw were hunting and trapping and a non-American Indian playing an Indian. In other words, Disney is appealing to REALLY sensitive people out there...and if you see the film, ignore this blurb. By the way, this isn't all that easy because I found if you stop and re-start the film, it makes you watch this statement again.
As for the movie, it seems to epitomize the word 'okay'. It is nice is some ways but in others it could have stood some improvement. In particular, Mr. Calloway is big into preserving the geese from over hunting....but he yells and bellows so much. You can actually understand why many folks DIDN'T listen to him. A John Muir, he was not!
Apart from that, it's the type of live action film Walt himself loved, as it emphasizes a bygone era in America and old fashioned values. Considering his love of the late 1800s and early 1900s, setting the film during the Coolidge administration (1923-1929) isn't a surprise.
Overall, the film features some nice story and nice acting (apart from Brian Keith...the character who seemed to be yelling all the time). It's not a film I'd rush to see but don't let Disney's current warning scare you away...it's not offensive unless you hate hunting and can't get past Frank DeKova playing an Indian...though hundreds of films and TV shows of the 1950s-60s featured this. I don't like it because it's more realistic to have American Indians playing American Indians, but I have pretty thick skin.
