Mary Pickford and her real-life Prince Not-So-Charming Owen Moore co-star in a very traditional take on the famous fairy tale. Definitely has its quirky charms (evil gnomes!) but mostly fails to make itself magical enough to stand out from the crowd.

Availability: Released on DVD by Milestone as a double feature with Through the Back Door, another Pickford feature, and by assorted companies as a standalone disc. I recommend the Milestone edition.

My main problem was I felt Pickford lacked her usual spunk and sense of mischief.
I agree, it was just a generally dull affair. I think it’s quite possible that Moore’s abusive behavior was taking a toll. She wrote in her autobiography that she considered suicide while she was married to him.
