The Little Prince is a 1974 U.S.–British fantasy-musical film with screenplay and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, music by Frederick Loewe. It was both directed and produced by Stanley Donen and based on the 1943 classic children-adult's novella, Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince), by the writer, poet and pioneering aviator Count Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who disappeared near the end of the Second World War some 15 months after his fable was first published.
The film and its music were unsuccessful at the box office but became somewhat popular after its theatrical run, and has been released for sale on various media,[1][2] while the original novella upon which it was based has since become one of the best-selling books ever published.[3][4][5]
