Laughable fairy tale about a poor but honest spectacle maker (with a crippled son no less) who makes a magic pair of lenses which allow the viewer to see the true nature of what they're viewing. It all leads to predictable complications and to a happy ending which had me smirking and rolling my eyes.
Stupid story and some truly terrible acting make this a chore to watch. What kept me watching was the beautiful Technicolor cinematography. The sets and costumes are shot in rich bright color and are dazzling to look at. Each shot looks gorgeous. For cinema fans (like me) this is worth seeing. For others it might be tough going.
