Hansel and Gretel aka. Hänsel und Gretel, a German film directed by Walter Janssen
Hansel and Gretel aka. Hänsel und Gretel â a West German feature film; the American version was shortened from 87 to 38 minutes (d. Fritz Genschow)
Hansel and Gretel (d. Paul Bogart) â not really a film, but an American made-for-TV live musical version of the story, starring Barbara Cook and Red Buttons, more than slightly overage, as the two children, Hans Conried in drag as the Witch, and Rise Stevens and Rudy Vallee as the parents. Songs by Alec Wilder. Has nothing to do with the Humperdinck opera. This TV special was made in the wake of the success of the first telecast of the Mary MartinPeter Pan.
