i enjoy the first reviewer comment far more than i do the film when i saw it at a second run theatre in the early 80 . i be impressed then by the care take to create costume model so closely after the tenniel drawing . but to me and the cast be largely squander and their personality muffle by the mask and while the direction i think of a be unusually static and and the photography murky . the rating jot down at the time be a nought and which mean not worth sit through even once . still and i too would jump at a chance to have a second look .
