Redundant and unnecessary.
Don't listen to the negative reviews
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Children will not mind some awkward editing in, and the mediocre post-synchronization of this otherwise with light touch directed Grimm fairy tale. The basic theme of the fairy tale is that of Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. The film has romance, a couple of nice fencing scenes and a very nice princess. It has pace, a fine cast and delightful music in the Mozart idiom by Norbert Schultze. Noteworthy this film is also for Ottokar Runze in one of his rare acting parts; in the 70's he would become producer and director.
