Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Buy this dvd
Ok, you get the gist of the story from the review above. I am a 40 year old woman whom loves Mick Jagger and found him quite entertaining in this episode. I found the story quite interesting too, even at my age. If you like Mick buy it!



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A disappointing episode!
Mick Jagger, Barbara Hershey, and, yes Edward James Olmos (!) play Japanese in this overlong and boring Faerie Tale Theatre presentation. Jagger dons his British accent, even though he's a Japanese emperor, and Hershey is just not convincing. Olmos is a terrific actor, but he is so wrong for the role. Why not cast a Japanese to play a Japanese? Now there's an idea, isn't there? Only Bud Cort as The Music Master saves the show with his hilarious performance. Boasting good production values and better sets than the average Faerie Tale Theatre episode, this is still the weak link in an otherwise terrific series. Watch if you must see all the episodes in the series, otherwise, avoid!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - one of the all-time FAERIE TALE THEATRE greats!
THE NIGHTINGALE is one of the all-time greatest episodes of FAERIE TALE THEATRE, featuring great performances, expert direction by Ivan Passer and a heartbreaking musical score.

The Emperor of Cathay (Mick Jagger) lives in a porcelain palace with his courtiers completely cut off from his people. When he hears about a magical bird called the Nightingale and it's exquisite song, he demands an audience with it. The Kitchen Maid (Barbara Hershey) swiftly leads the Prime Minister (Edward James Olmos) to the bird. When the Nightingale sings for the Emperor, it immediately gladdens his heart and giving nature.

But when a mechanical version of the Nightingale is given to the Emperor, he quickly dismisses the real bird. Now ill and close to death, the Emperor needs the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Faerie Tale Theatre: The Nightingale
Mick Jagger stars as the Emperor of Cathay in this beautiful and lavish production from Faerie Tale Theatre. It's one of the most touching faerie tales, and it turns out to be one of the best episodes from this series. Jagger turns in an excellent performance as the Emperor, and Barbara Hershey is absolutely charming as the loyal kitchen maid. A spellbinding episode that is one of my favourites.
