## Description

In 1917, Frances Griffiths arrives in Yorkshire to stay with her uncle Arthur Wright (Paul McGann), his wife, Polly, and daughter Elsie. Elsie and Frances assert that they have seen fairies while playing in the garden, and produce photographs of them which are authenticated by an expert. The pictures attract the attention of author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Peter O'Toole), who believes them to be genuine, and escapologist Harry Houdini (Harvey Keitel), who is sceptical. Before long, journalist John Ferret (Tim McInnerny) is investigating the girls' photographs, determined to prove that they are fakes.

Review: Great family film - Lovely "true story" great family film
Review: Awesome film - Watched it over Christmas with mother (i bought it for her as a present).. none of us had seen it before but we were all familier with the real life story as its in many books. really enjoyed the good acting .. maybe oToole not the best fit for C Doyle but with everything else in the film & the good scripting its all ok. Keitel is amazing as Houdini. Watched it again last night with my brother - who is a sort of fan of Paul Mcgan; just a really good happy film with a good message about life struggles. &the end cameo by mel gibson lol

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Magical in every way..
*by M***! on 15 October 2013*

This is a purely magical experience, from start to finish. The amazing imagery is totally captivating and just as magical as it was when I first saw it at the cinema over 15 years. This striking movie is so well written and acted, and the enchanting scenery is to be commended, not to mention the Fairies are just beautiful and magical to watch. My two adore this movie and I have to say that the whole family enjoys watching it together, lots of messages and lessons to be learnt throughout the movie, yet they are not being rammed down your throat and an idealistic manner, rather a gentle understanding of what consequences can bring with decisions that are made. Exploring possible outcomes from ones actions in a way that children can understand but also relate to. Without all the lessons to be learnt I would highly recommend this movie as a family classic, along with The Secret Garden [DVD] [1993 ] and A Little Princess [DVD] [1995 ] as lovely, high quality children's movies the whole family can enjoy. P.S. We purchased our copy from PurpleBix DVD's and although it's region 4 on the box it worked perfectly in our DVD player as the seller said it would. (we have a normal Region 2 DVD player not a multi-region player)
