About Rumpelstilzchen
Many, many years ago, there lived a miller with his beautiful daughter. He lied to his king, telling him that she could spin straw into gold. The young woman was immediately taken to the king's castle and told that she must spin the straw into gold by the next day or she would die! After the door closed behind her, a little man entered during the night, who was skilled in the art she had been praised for...
Directed by Alf Zengerling, Rumpelstilzchen leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Walker, Hermann Schröder, Otto Bredow — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1940.
