The Little Ark is a 1972 children's film directed by James B. Clark, produced by Robert B. Radnitz for Cinema Center Films and released theatrically in the U.S. by National General Pictures. It stars Geneviève Ambas and Philip Frame as children, believed to be World War II orphans, that befriend a local fisherman (Theodore Bikel) after he saves them from a flood.[1]
Composer Fred Karlin and lyricist Megan Karlin were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Come Follow, Follow Me".
In Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide, he gave the film three stars and wrote, "Another good children's film from producer Robert Radnitz; this one concerns two Dutch youngsters who try to find their father after being separated from him during a flood."[2]
