MOVIE REVIEW 'Dumpling Gang' a Disney Comedy BY KEVIN THOMAS Times Staff Writer "The Apple Dumpling Gang" (opening citywide today) is a pleasant and funny Disney family comedy about the fate of three orphans (Clay O'Brien, Brad Savage and Stacy Manning) who are deposited in Quake City, a worked-out California gold town, and wind up in the custody of a gambler (Bill Bixby) trying to work his way to New Orleans.

Having lost his last dollar in a poker game, Bixby is staked for $5 by a local ne'er-do-well (Don Knight), who is about to depart for San Francisco, in return for agreeing THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG' A Buena Vista release of a Walt Dlsnev production. Producer Bill Anderson. Director Norman Tokar. Screenplay Don Talt; from the book by Jack M. Blckham.

Camera Frank Phillips. Music Buddy Baker. Art directors John B. Mansbrldse, Walter Tyler. Costumes Shelby Anderson.

Second unit director Arthur J. Vltarelll. Film editor Ray do Leuw. Featuring Bill Bixby, Susan Clark, Don Knott Tim Conway, David Wayne, Slim Pickens, Harry Morgan, John McGlver, Don Knight, Clay O'Brien, Brad Savage, Stacy Manning, Dennis Flmple, Pepe Callahan, Iris Adrian, Fran Ryan, Bing Russell, James E. rod-head, Jim Boles, Olan Soule.

Running time: 1 hr. 40 mln. MPAA-rated: (general audiences). to claim a shipment of valuables due to arrive on the next stage. The valuables, of course, turn out to be the kids, distant relatives of Knight who was in partnership with their late father in a now-abandoned Quake City mine.

A ride in a runaway ore car, the discovery of a huge nugget dislodged in an earthquake, and a couple of bank robberies are some of the adventures that lie ahead for the children. Under the affectionate, good-humored direction of Norman Tokar, working from Don Tait's script (adapted from a book by Jack M. Bickham), the film's large cast is delightful. Susan Clark is a tomboy eager to be noticed by Bixby, and David Wayne is her gently imbibing Southern colonel father. Don Knotts and Tim Conway are hilarious, reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy, as a pair of hopelessly inept outlaws.

Slim Pickens is the comic villain of the plot and Harry Morgan the local sheriff. At 100 minutes "The Apple Dumpling Gang" that's what the kids are called when they join forces with Knotts and Conway is a bit long but amiable enough to get away with overstaying its welcome. Disney films are often open to criticism for shoddy production values, but this film's natural locales (in Northern California and Oregon) are beautiful and its sets unusually authentic. ccvsrjA DOC SAVAGE(G) FOX TWIN 211 Azuu 3324050 FREE PARKING 6419anNuya 1215,340,700,10:25 9NCE NOT ENOUGH(R) LOO, 445, 830 TJL RASKINVPG) 10,640 810:10 ishw in iwiiwt aiNDnwriii 205, 5J0, 8iO THOUSAIMD OAKS FOX TWIN APPLE DUMPLING GANG 211 N.
