The Pied Piper of Hamelin by Bretaigne Windust
The music is the iconic score by Edvard Grieg, including "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and other favorites. The peasants sing and dance, as do the Piper and others.
The dialog is spoken in rhyme, derived from Robert Browning's poem (1842). The lyrics to Grieg's music are original to the show.
The special effects are cheesy now, but were "magical" in their day.
Van Johnson plays the hero (Truson) and the Piper, occasioning a small in-joke in the script.

Other versions of the story are by The Brothers Grimm and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
This one is still available in various versions on Amazon (2017-12-04).… (more)
