A single father captures a leprechaun.

2.5/4 (Okay).

It has some good folktale elements, but gets boring in places. None of the humor is funny. The special effects are exceptionally well done. Janet Munro has enough charm to make up for a lot of the movie's failings.

Pale fifties version of Robin Hood. Errol Flynn makes it better.
