I must admit that this movie is one of my all-time favorite childhood films. My parents bought the video when I was about two years old and I have always loved this movie. Annette never looks prettier and her costumes are absolutely gorgeous in this movie! Tommy Sands is good looking and pretty sexy for Disney film. And Ray Bolger is delightfully wicked as Barnaby. I love how they made the music a little more modern feeling and the Gypsy dance is one of the best dance numbers ever put on film. The rest of the show is great fun and I defy you to be bored watching this film.
It's only problem is in the sets and props. They are beyond FAKE. They're so fake they make the sets in the 60s Batman look real. It's like watching a stage play.
I guess the real reason I love this film is because Tommy Kirk, who plays Groomio in the film, used to come over to my family's house all the time. Being a small child I thought his real name was "Groomio" and that's what I called him for years. He got such a big kick out of that!
I wish Annette hadn't gotten so I'll with MS. I would love to hear her thoughts on making this film and see if she had any of the props or costumes from this movie.
Have some popcorn and watch near the holidays.
