Peter O'Toole, Harvey Keitel
Outstanding children's film set during WW1 in England when death was ubiquitous and folks were hungry for some sign that there was something beyond the life that they knew. Seances, mediums, quackery of all kind sprang up pulling in credulous, suffering people.
Also...fairies. The idea that there were little flying folk who lived in gardens and helped those they liked was irresistible to some. This film deals beautifully with that idea. Two girls photograph fairies in their garden and become major celebrities. Exquisitely done in all respects.
A treasure.
