Ann Vernon makes the difficult role of Genevieve's mother sympathetic. The source material for the laser disc is remarkably free of dirt and scratches. The transfer lacks the color intensity that this musical fairy tale screams out for. It's not that the color is weak and maybe some sacrilegious playing with the color controls may have helped it, but saturation is less than ideal. The images are consistent throughout, sharp, with delicate pinks showing well.
Skins tone are rather pale.
Otherwise, the stereo separation is fine and Legand's music is well produced. Poster Archive Site Info Home E-mail Films on Disc 1999 Stuart J. Kobak , all rights reserved.
