Jack the Giant Killer
1962, NR, 94 min. Directed by Nathan Juran. Starring Kerwin Mathews, Judi Meredith, Torin Thatcher, Walter Burke.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Jan. 25, 2001
Stop-action animation, blue-screen work, matte backgrounds, and a rollicking fantasy story make this one for the ages. Princes and princesses, warlocks and giants mix it up mightily and guess who come out the winners? The movie was also shot in fabulous Fantascope.
