In another Faerie tale Theatre post, we go to the second episode, Rumpelstiltskin the whole thing can be viewed here
The wizard reminded me of a drunken Dumbledore, or perhaps Dumbledore is a slightly more sober version seeing as this pre-dates Harry Potter? who knows
I think the red hair suits Shelley
Herve Villechaize (Rumpi) also played Nick Nack in the 007 film The man with the golden gun!
Highlights: Duvall's suit at the beginning introducing the episode, insulting alliterations, i believe one of the guesses of Rumpi's name was 'sack-bat' but my ears could be deceiving me on that one, an evil little tune sung by Rumpi and his friends and the painting backdrops, but, best of all:
A young Bud Cort, playing a page in it! Star of Harold and Maude and Brewster McCloud, 2 other films completely worth seeing, top left hand corner in the pic above
