Description:
One of the most important fairy tales of East German film production, Wolfgang Staudte's The Story of Little Mook (1953) is a well-crafted work brimming with solid performances, lavish costumes, and authentic scenery. The Arabian tale is of an old hunchback who shares his captivating life story: As an orphan boy named Mook (Thomas Schmidt) he bravely sets out to find the Merchant of Good Fortune. Instead, he stumbles upon a pair of magic slippers and a golden scepter, which help to earn him a position in the Sultan's court--until he becomes a threat to a trio of crafty courtiers. Through kindness, cleverness, and a bit of magic, Little Mook navigates his way through the evils of betrayal and imprisonment to help his friend, Prince Hassan, win the hand of Princess Amarza. The enchanting family film underscores the timeless truths that appearances can be deceiving and good fortune wears many disguises. The film is dubbed in English and suitable for ages 6 and older. --Lynn Gibson
