Name this film...

My missus always talks about this film that she used to watch when she was a kid. It was The Little Mermaid but not the one you're thinking of, it wasn't an animated movie... The one distinctive factor was that Ariel had blue hair and it was realistic, no singing lobsters, etc...

Anyhow she used to watch it so often the tape was almost worn out and it got to the stage where it wrecked her mothers head so much that she taped over it! I wouldn't mind getting it for her but can't seem to find the name. The closest I've been able to google/imdb is some Russian movie that apparently was never in English so this couldn't be it...

Thanks in advance for any help (feck, she knows my username, hope she doesn't see this post!)

A lovely, haunting film reminiscent of the Czech film, THREE NUTS FOR CINDERELLA, RUSALOCHKA is a relatively faithful adaptation of Andersen's tale, "The Little Mermaid." In this film, the mermaid does not have to give up her voice to the sea hag, but she does exchange her blue hair for legs.

Ah, it would take singing lobsters would make a film about a half-fish and half-woman person unrealistic
