This film is vastly underrated. It is by no means the usual MGM Freed tune fest. But if you can happily suspend disbelief for a couple of hours and indulge all your fairy tale fantasies, watch this film.
I saw it on a DVD made from an old VHS (recorded from TV I suspect).
I hope someone will have the sense to release a remastered copy on DVD so modern audiences get the chance to forget about their cynical and worldly cares and wrap themselves up in the warm blanket of this Technicolour fantasy.
I wonder if the reason this film is largely forgotten is because it does not easily fit into any category. OK it was made by the Freed unit at MGM, but it is not a typical musical. Think of it as a visual fairy tale for grown ups.
