Hello,

My memories are pretty foggy about an old movie (from the 70s or earlier)...

A little girl goes through a well... ends up in an orchard, meets an apple tree that says "shake me shake me... My apples are too heavy for me!"... She shakes it (throughout the film, virtuous, she helps everyone!!!). In the end, she is rewarded with a spool of golden thread. Another girl (greedy), "recites" the same path only to be given a worthless spool of string with ink.....

That's it.

Thank you very much to those who will respond!!!....Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

  1. Hello, I just saw your message because I am also looking for that tale which I liked a lot when I was younger. I found the title of the book but not the movie, what a pity!!! But I will continue my search. Good luck to you, Sylvie. If you want to read the story online, I’ll give you the title. It’s “DAME HIVER” (Mother Holle) by the Brothers Grimm. Happy reading! Best regards, Vero.

    1. Hello,
      This is indeed the Snow Queen by the Brothers Grimm; it's a film that aired on television in the 1970s, in black and white, and I too loved it since it has stayed in the back of my mind for many years! I particularly remember the comforter that the little girl shakes and the feathers that fall like snow... so beautiful.
      This tale was reissued last year by Didier Jeunesse, illustrated by Mlle Novi, stunning!
      However, I’ve been searching high and low, and I can’t find any other editions. Does anyone have a lead?

    2. @fergusA thousand thanks, that's exactly it. I'm going to do everything to find it. I never thought that one day I could see again what had touched me so much back then, all alone in front of the television waiting for my grandma to come back from her errands. I know that most of you won't care, but still, thank you infinitely.

    3. If it's the right one, I've been looking for it for a while too... I saw it as a kid but can't remember the title or the year... thanks, I'm so happy!

    4. @fergusI see that I'm not the only one who was marked by this film! I've been telling my son about it since he was little, recounting the story in my own way since I haven't seen this film on television again. Now, thanks to the internet and also to you, I can finally put a name to that famous film! I also remember the oven with the burning bread that the little girl hurried to take out. I must have been 6 or 7 years old, and I still think about it! I will also look into it. It’s October 2011, so it's been a while since you wrote these messages, and if anyone has the chance to read my message, have you found anything since then?

    5. @fergusIt's beautiful, the internet: years in my memory and here this movie comes back after 42 years, as if I were there. My son is going to be happy to see it with me now; we are nostalgic for our beautiful era and I see that I'm not alone in keeping these buried memories: thank you again for giving me the chance to watch it again...
