Singer Donovan as the Grimm Brothers character...
“The Pied Piper,&#34; based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, is set in the Middle Ages as the town of Hamelin tries desperately to rid itself of the Black Plague. Donovan plays a mysterious musician who arrives in town promising to get rid of the town’s rat infestation by playing his magical flute, but the townspeople cannot put aside their personal agendas and ask the piper to help them with other deeds, as the town’s petty and greedy leader, the sinister Baron (Donald Pleasance), tries to take advantage of the new savior.<br /><br />Donovan, a rock icon of the 1960s and early 1970s, is well cast and gets to play some tunes on guitar. He portrays the piper in low-key fashion, yet gives the impression that the Piper always has the upper hand and possesses the most significant bargaining chip as the corrupt town attempts to double cross him.<br /><br />The supporting cast includes Jack Wild (The Artful Dodger in “Oliver!”) as a lame boy, and Michael Holdern as a Jewish alchemist belittled by the Church despite his level headedness and intelligence. Dina Dors, the 1950s blonde bombshell, appears as the Burgomaster’s wife, and a young John Hurt plays Franz, the power hungry suitor of the Baron’s daughter.<br /><br />The exterior scenes are reminiscent of the Hammer Studio horror films made around the same time, giving an appropriate Old World look to the film. Though the film is rated G, it does contain a few creepy scenes with trained rats. “The Pied Piper” has never been on home video in the U.S. before. Directed by Jacques Demy (“The Umbrellas of Cherbourg”), “The Pied Piper” portrays a community rampant with greed, abuse of power, and autocracy. The presence of the Piper is the catalyst that shows the true colors of many residents thought to be decent, upstanding citizens.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the widescreen Blu-ray release.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : The great Jacques Demy (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) directed this masterful retelling of the classic children's tale. Set in the Middle Ages, the divided town of Hamelin tries in vain to rid itself of the Black Plague. Music legend Donovan plays a mysterious musician who arrives in town promising to rid the town of their rat infestation by playing his magical flute, but the townspeople cannot put aside their personal agendas and ask the piper to help them with other deeds, as the town s petty and greedy leader, the sublimely creepy Donald Pleasence (Halloween) attempts to take advantage of their new savior. With great music and spectacular costumes and sets, The Pied Piper is a fascinating take on a familiar legend. Wonderfully shot by Peter Suschitzky (The Empire Strikes Back) and featuring a splendid cast that includes John Hurt (Alien), Jack Wild (Oliver!), Peter Vaughan (Straw Dogs), Roy Kinnear (How I Won the War), Michael Hordern (The Bed Sitting Room), Cathryn Harrison (Black Moon) and Diana Dors (A Kid for Two Farthings).
