Baby Peggy Is Gretel
by boblipton2025-11-20

"And Buddy Williams is Hansel. When their miserable mother abandons them in the forest..... oh, you know the story. The story is eked out with a lot of camera trickery, the inhabitants of the witch's house -- including a giant, a baby elephants, a chimpanzee and bananas (very unusual for Germany) -- and some simple slapstick as Gretel deals with her much larger baby brother by hitting him on the head. It's pleasant and silly and Baby Peggy, as usual in her vehicles, gets in some nice acting for a five-year-old...."
