Review

good semi-take on snow white and the seven dwarves. it’s got a hell of a cast and crew – elisha cook, barbara stanwyck, gary cooper, dana andrews, dan duryea, and henry travers in front of the screen and edith head, howard hawks, billy wilder, alfred newman, sam goldwyn, and gregg toland behind the camera. amazing list of people in various stages of their careers. it’s a funny film with a nice premise. it’s been called the last great comedy of the pre-war era.
