- I have found more on the plot of The Sand Castle, Jerome Hill's 1961 classic that has disappeared. First, an online plot summary (below). Notice, it is 67 minutes long. Then a review in a mag (found online) that gives cast and characters. Third, the only pic I found of the boy (and his sister , who co-stars with him). I will send those two items as pics attached. The 1961 Horizon magazine article I got this information from has a beautfiul picture of the boy, back to the camera, defiantly staring at his handiwork and the waves edging closer. It's real life to him. Synopsis by Hal Erickson Sand Castle is an intimate and totally engaging yarn about an afternoon at the seashore. Two very young children, played by James and Laurie Cardwell, are left to their own devices by their neglectful parents. They construct a sand castle, then utilize their imaginations to "inhabit" their new fortress. As the afternoon creeps onward, the children have populated their sand castle with a host of colorful imaginary characters. Sand Castle is a marvelous, nostalgic way to spend 67 minutes on a lazy afternoon.
