Simply Perfect
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
They were, of course, doing Peter Pan on stage for years before this hit the small screen, but this was the version that was seen by the masses. More than the performance itself, I remember the rave reviews given to Ms. Martin for decades afterwards.The two most memorable scenes for me (as a very young boy) were the bedroom with the huge windows and the fire-breathing alligator on wheels. If I did need to jump out a window to fly, that's the kind I would want. And although it was scary (I had trouble recognizing it as an alligator), if you are going to fight an alligator, a wooden one on wheels is probably preferable.I'm very surprised to be the first reviewer. This show was famous and highly praised.
