Collins Entertains

Joan Collins appears to be having the time of her life playing both the manipulative and sultry stepmother of the title characters and the wicked witch who wants to fatten them up and eat them. It's worth seeing just for her, but it's also a good, faithful adaptation of the original story complete with the child abandonment themes that have been sanitized from other versions of the story.
