The Little Mermaid

on BBC Two England

From the simple fairy-tale of the little mermaid who fell in love with an earthly prince, sacrificing her voice to become human, the Czechoslovak Studios have made a sumptuous colour production. With fast-moving direction by a prize-winning master of his craft, the music, dancing and general artistry of the film achieve a unique dream-like quality.
