The classic fairy tale takes a musical spin in this underrated film, in which "the little people" really act up a storm. One of them gives the queen a magic spell so she can bear the daughter she always wanted, but an evil curse is placed over Rosebud, and the king demands that all the spindles in the kingdom be destroyed . . . . Well, you know the story. Morgan Fairchild is interesting to watch as the queen, but it's Sylvia Miles, an Andy Warhol protégée, who steals the action as the Red Fairy. Music by Michael Berz and others really keeps this film fresh through the years.
