The Pied Piper
Movie • 1972 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
Greed, corruption, ignorance, and disease. Midsummer, 1349: the Black Death reaches northern Germany. Minstrels go to Hamelin for the Mayor's daughter's wedding to the Baron's son. He wants her dowry to pay his army while his father taxes the people to build a cathedral he thinks will save his soul. A local apothecary who's a Jew seeks a treatment for the plague; the priests charge him with witchcraft. One of the minstrels, who has soothed the Mayor's daughter with his music, promises to rid the town of rats for the fee. The Mayor agrees, then renigs. In the morning, the plague, the Jew's trial, and the Piper's revenge come at once.

At least one dead rat is shown (you don't see the bodies of the rats when they drown in the river). A dead swan is shown on a platter at a wedding feast.

A young girl (the actress was 13 years old) is married to a man in his 30s. She is never shown in any sexual situations, but she is quite young and a reluctant bride so I thought I would mention it.
