Sea Gypsies, The -- Handome widower (Robert Logan), his two young daughters, a woman photographer (Mikki Jamison-Olsen) and a little black stowaway set off on a round-the-world sailing trip but the boat sinks off the coast of Alaska and the movie becomes a Swiss Family Robinson sort of adventure. Needless to say, everyone cooperates to cope with the forbidding terrain and climate and the incursions of hostile animals. Writer-director Stewart Raffill has made a pleasant and unpretentious entertainment for the whole family. Very young children, however, might be frightened by skillfully-done scenes involving unfriendly animals. (A-I) (G) ( 1978 )
