Product Description

The Little Prince (1974)

Director:

Stanley Donen

Writers:

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (story "Le Petit Prince"), Alan Jay Lerner

Stars:

Richard Kiley, Steven Warner, Joss Ackland

Stanley Donen directed this lugubrious musical fantasy based on the classic Antoine de Saint-Exupery children's parable, featuring a musical score by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe -- their first film score since Gigi. The simple story concerns a French aviator (Richard Kiley) who crashes his airplane in the middle of the Sahara desert and comes upon a young blonde prince (Steven Warner) from another planet. The Little Prince tells the pilot that he is inspecting the universe and stays in the desert long enough to convey to the pilot his impressions of the earth and stories of other planets he has visited. In a supporting role as a serpent that the Little Prince met amongst his travels in the universe, Bob Fosse stops the show with a slithery dance routine.

THE LITTLE PRINCE Is an average musical, but faithful to the book

Posted by Kenneth Orme on Jan 28th 2026

THE LITTLE PRINCE from 1974 is one of the more faithful movie versions of the Saint-Exupery classic.
Notable mainly for performances by Bob Fosse as The Snake and Gene Wilder as The Fox, it does communicate key lines and concepts from the French novel in easily understood English. But Steven Warner is a British prince, not a Gallic one and the rest of the adult cast mugs rather than acts.
