Review #107 Jack the Giant Killer




Film History on Videotape Podcast show

Summary: Does a magical fairy tale of a movie with giants, witches, and lots of great special effects sound interesting? No we aren't talking about the new Jack the Giant Slayer (which is getting awful reviews). We are on the other hand talking abut the 1962 Jack The Giant Killer... a colorful and engaging little movie intended for children but by today's standards is anything but. Come with us as we look over and discuss why 50 years makes all the difference when turning a kids fairy tale into big budget studio remake. Enjoy!
