Modern Fairy Tale

Modern Fairy Tale is a 1986 American fantasy comedy film directed by Nicolas Argyll and written by Ronny Graham from a story by Garrett Fredrickson. The film stars Craig T. Nelson as a recently widowed comedy writer who enters a fantasy world accesable through a small door in his apartment complex.
The film is in many ways a departure from Nicolas Argyll, who's mainly known for more adult skewering films such as Electric and The Cat Creeps, directing a light fantasy comedy, he did this after accepting a challenge producer Carl Andy suggested following The Cat Creeps. The film was released on February 7, 1986 to mixed reviews, some criticizing the cheesy nature of the story. The soundtrack and special effects however were praised.
