Based on Jill Murphy's book, this charming movie is setin an English boarding school for witches--complete with orange and blackschool uniforms, broom-flying exercises, and potion assignments for lab. The incompetent student of the title, Mildred, is played by a fetching youngFairuza Balk.Diana Rigg is the nasty head teacher, Tim Curry the (oddly) idolized GrandWizard, and TV's Facts of Life maven Charlotte Rae does double duty as the school's kindly dean and her evil witch twin, who's bent on taking over theschool. Directed by Robert Young, this 68-minute video features less thanstate-of-the-art effects and several songs that stop the action--mostbizarrely an outdoor assembly performance by Curry that turns into a weirdmusic video. Still, preteen girls will identify with the beleaguered heroine who overcomes her wickedly snooty rival, a teacher who doesn't believe in her, and a band of dastardly witches and, of course, saves the day.

- Ok Experience
This product was in good condition, however, compared to my other purchases here on Amazon.com, came a bit later than the others. It arrived within the 7-10 business days time frame, but closer to 10 days than 7.

Rating: - loved it as a child
I remember how much my sisters and I loved this movie as kids but when I saw it as an adult it is really corny but I still love it. And the best part is I have a 10 yr. old daughter who thinks it's cool so that's all that matters!!
