The Pied Piper of Hamelin
The construction
of the screenplay has two parts, of which the second is Browning’s poem,
amply cited. The rest is De Mille’s The Ten Commandments for the
tale of bricks and the disaster.
A happy ending is
supplied.

funniest in the series, illustrating Windust’s rhythmic understanding of
comedy.
