Although not such, it had all the elements of a traditional fairy story -an attempt to steal the girl's inheritance, greater than life-size villains, apparent disaster, and everything coming out right in the end -good triumphs over evil. The cast were perfectly selected for their parts, the cinematography excellent and the 'scary bits' very well presented. Any child who likes the version of 101 Dalmatians with Glenn Close is sure to enjoy this.

Stephanie Beecham plays a great villainous role and it really is a great adventure id put alongside the best of them including Oliver Twist and Swallows and Amazons.
