THE PRACTICAL PRINCESS

by Jay Williams ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 1, 1969

Down to earth with the win-the-princess fairy tale. Blessed from birth with beauty, grace and common sense, Bedelia slays her own dragon and uncovers a conniving suitor's shortcuts. Imprisoned in a tower, she looks for an exit, finds instead a sleeping prince. Bedelia has to reverse his curse before the two can escape--at her instigation via his Rapunzel-like locks. The evil suitor is smashed and Bedelia gets her man. . . but first he has to get a haircut. Ornate exaggerated figures with a slightly malevolent cast won't attract anyone to this practical joke. Too bad, because the story's well told.
