Wow.....just watched the new DVD release of the 1972 classic "The Pied Piper" for the 1st time in over 20 years. Why this flick didn't become a cult classic is beyond me...Casting Donovan as a lead was unbelievable! He came across like Roger Daltrey's younger, personality-free brother, and his doughy lack of affect kills the production. They also cast Diana Dors (playing a matron called Frau Poppendick!) in an unbelievable role.
But, Jack Wild could have been nominated for an Academy Award...he was excellent!
Watch it for yourself and enjoy...
