This delightful classic story for all ages is presented by fine actors using beautiful poetry and music. I enjoyed it with my grandchildren. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the magical tale and were singing the tunes for days. Modern-day producers could learn much from this well done video that captivates children without any inappropriate language or toilet humor.

The audio I would only give 3 stars. It is very easy to hear, but gets grainy in some parts. The music on occasion suddenly goes low, so I turn the volume up only to find out that 3 seconds later it ... Read More

I just watched this film for the first time on PBS. I thought I must have been made in the 1930's because it seemed so dated, but discovered it was a made-for-tv movie in 1957. If I were just watching it as face-value entertainment, I would have thought it odd and boring, but I LOVED the cast and how it was made. I loved recognizing Edvard Grieg's (modified) music, and the rhyming dialog that I later discovered was from Robert Browning's poem. I had only seen Van Johnson in WW II movies, and so ... Read More
