    Gorgeous Lee Remick
    Lee Remick is spellbinding as the title character and the adaptation tries to squeeze in as much as it can from Andersen's epic fairy tale. Melissa Gilbert and Lance Kerwin are also very good as the young leads and the production does a lot with what was obviously a tiny budget.
