About this product

Product Information

When two young English cousins claim to have captured fairies on film, their photographs attract the attention of legendary skeptic Harry Houdini (Harvey Keitel) and legendary dreamer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Peter O'Toole). But are the fairies real, or are they simply the wistful projections of the two lonely girls, whose fragile spirits have been crushed by the death of a brother and the loss of a father in World War I? Based on a true case from 1917 in which the girls' photos turned out to be a hoax, but rendered with an infectious fanciful spirit that equivocates on the existence of magical creatures.

      A smart but gentle film about the nature of belief

      Incorporating key details of an historic event -- when two young girls provided photographs of what they said were real fairies that they had seen in their garden -- the movies explores what makes people believe in improbable things. Set amid the horrors of World War I -- with gassed and crippled soldiers everywhere -- the movie makes the case that sometimes what seems like naivite is simply hope. And, as Harry Houdini says in the film, if you can give hope to people, then they don't care if it's a trick.

      "Fairytale--A True Story" is a great movie for the entire family. It's the type of story you'll return to watch over again, and your children will enjoy the special effects (which make the fairies appear to be real). isellstuff1976 packaged the DVD well and was received in perfect condition. Many thanks!

    • Best ever fairy movie!

      This is one of my now favorite movies! I bought this for my best friend! She is a fairy lover! She is my kindred spirit, so this movie was the perfect find for her gift! I loved it and so did she! We’ve both watch it a few times already!
