Vanessa Redgrave gives one the series' most memorable, committed, and hammy performances as the Evil Queen who sets out to kill stepdaughter, Snow White, because she's more beautiful than her. The adaptation is well paced with just enough darkness and humor to balance each other out. Elizabeth McGovern isn't given much to do with a poorly written role, but she's very sweet as Snow White, Tony Cox is hilarious as one of the dwarves, and Vincent Price is terrific as the Queen's magic mirror.
