Ahh to be a child again, and frolic through the fjords! Hughes, in his phantasmagoric, hilariuos and well-dubbed masterpiece of candy colored pop, has brought the oft-told tail of Pippi, the bad little swedish girl and her friends, to a new underground audience. Sharp photogrpahy, smoothe camera work and deeply etched protrayals by the leads (Walter Barnett is a stunner as Pippi)lead to a giddy cream puff of a film. Special mention should be made of the actor who portrays the singing, churning milk-maid. He really knows how to take a fresh roll in the face!
