I agree that the source material will always attract interest, but the teens offered more than enough of stagey, static presentations at a time when the possibilities of the medium were not even broached. I agree that Marguerite Clark was very good, and I'm also happy that Disney was so inspired (I guess we can safely say his 1937 masterpiece was at least in a small way indepted to this ancient relic) even if just for the novelty of film. I was bored stiff with this film, even though it barely scraped an hour.
