    A wonderful combination of musical, biography, and dark fairy tales. This was originally shot for Cinerama where the audience was facing three screens, it may look a little odd unless they've updated the picture from the one I have on LaserDisc.

    This is worth seeing on the big screen with the Super Cinerama process and in 70mm print. It will blow you away!
    Saw this years ago at the Cinerama Charlottetowne Theatre in Charlotte,NC during a Saturday matinee. The theatre was incredibly huge with a large screen that went really wide!!! One of the better films that came out of 1962.
