DVD Reviews of Rumpelstiltskin
DVD Review: "I NEED A MIRACLE"
Summary: 4 Stars
"I Need A Miracle", sings the beautiful miller's daughter Katie (Amy Irving)-- and she needs that miracle quickly!
Because of her father's foolish boasts, she must spin straw into gold, or die! Enter Billy Barty as the mischievious title character/elf who seizes the opportunity to exploit Katie's plight for his own ends.
"RUMPELSTILITSKIN" was the first of the popular Cannon Movie Tales series of live-action fairy tale films.
Directed and written by David Irving from the Brothers Grimm story , this film is very much a family affair. David directs his mother Priscilla Pointer and sister Amy. Priscilla Pointer plays Queen Grizelda, who seemed very evil to me. Grizelda would sooner see Katie killed than have her son Prince Henry (John Moulder- Brown) marry the poor girl. Clive Revill is the ridiculously pompous and greedy King Mezzer.
It is wonderful to see Amy Irving ("CARRIE", "YENTL", "CROSSING DELANCY") in a starring role that gives her so much screen time. It is also nice to have Billy Barty as the title elf, who really is not as generous as he seems. He really wants to steal someone and use them as a slave and cook so he can have fun all day. As King Meezer's greed increases, the price of the elf's help grows higher and higher. He always speaks in rhymes and alternately giggles and screams as he works his magic. Rumpelstiltskin is a very spooky and scary little elf, indeed.
The songs by Max Robert, including "Straw Into Gold," "I Need A Miracle", "I'm Greedy," and "One Little Name," are serviceable to the plot but not particularly memorable. I wish the character of Prince Henry had been more developed in the screenplay. John Moulder-Brown has very little to do except hang around and hope Katie won't be killed by his father and mother so that he can marry her. Katie receives invaluable assistance from a talking raven and a supposedly mute servant girl named Emily. Henry should have been a more active Prince and participant on her behalf.
