DAILY CALL SHEET: JUNE 5, 2018

Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm

The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm (1962) Fictitious biography of the fabled tale tellers is sadly tepid, but has some neat George Pal stop-motion interludes. TIL: Per Tolkien, fairy stories contain truth, and so aren't a flight from reality, but a flight to reality.
