Richard Kiley ... The Pilot
Steven Warner ... The little prince
Bob Fosse ... The Snake
Gene Wilder ... The Fox
Joss Ackland ... The King
Clive Revill ... The Business Man
Donna McKechnie ... The Rose
Victor Spinetti ... The Historian
Graham Crowden ... The General
as someone who is very familiar with the book, this movie is quite
close to it. except for the singing. i didn't realize it was a musical
until i started watching it.
some of the songs are nice enough, but they really slow the story
down. the book is NOT long at all, and adding some of these rather
slow and not very catchy songs didn't help the pace at all. most of it
feels like padding.
the cast is quite good, and the Prince himself is a very good little
actor. Michael Jackson must have seen Bob Fosse in this, since he
stole many of the moves during his dance. on IMDB, you can see a lot of people came to this conclusion as well.
filmed on location in the Sahara, it's got some great scenery as
well. it must have been made after CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, but it's not a children's fable/movie at all.
