Details

After the success of the live 1957 Cinderella on CBS (with Julie Andrews), the network decided to produce another television version. The new script hewed closer to the traditional tale, although nearly all of the original songs were retained and performed in their original settings. Added to the Rodgers and Hammerstein score was "Loneliness of Evening", which had been composed for South Pacific but not used.

Wordiezett So much average
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Hermione Granger This is a sweet movie, but it's not very memorable or a beautiful classic. Yes, your children will enjoy it. Yes, you should watch it. And from my point of view--I know some will disagree--no, it isn't a classic you'll treasure and should keep. It's very cliché, and the songs are simple. The story follows the old Grimm Brothers one; there aren't any splendid twists or new sub plots. I enjoyed this as a child, but now I can't remember much and don't really want to. It's not worth watching again. Stick with the new live-action Cinderella that Disney presented. It has a few twists and good explanations, as well as a beautiful song and reprise.
sjwatson1980 I love this movie! I wish they still showed it on TV like they do The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, and other movies like Gone With the Wind. I love all of the actors in this movie. I love Stuart Damon and Leslie Ann singing together. I thought he was my prince. This is one of the movies that takes me back to my childhood. I still remember all of the songs! I wish that they would sing together again on a show or have a show where they sing all of the songs from the movie. After they get through singing the songs they need to show the old movie again. Most children today don't know what a good movie is or what good music is. I hope they will show this on Hallmark!
JLRMovieReviews Lesley Ann Warren is Cinderella in this version of the story. Stuart Damon (from General Hospital) is the Prince, and Walter Pidgeon and Ginger Rogers are his parents. the King and Queen. Celeste Holm is the fairy godmother. I love this film. Everything is perfect. But I love The Slipper and the Rose, too. But after seeing this one, the Julie Andrews version may pale in comparison. But of all the actors in it, the one that really steals the show is Jo Ann Fleet as the cruel stepmother. She really gets into character. Pat Carroll as one of the stepsisters is good, too. If you've never seen this, you're missing one of the best Cinderella movies ever. Period.
Stu-42 I know that I run the risk of upsetting some fans here, but I just have to be honest. I have watched this one with my 7 yr old daughter several times and although I must admit I've grown to like one or two things here, it really is a very bad movie. Some of the songs are not too nauseating and one or two are actually cute like the "Christopher Rupert" part. Just because it seems to appeal to young people so much I took it easy on it rating wise, but it may well be the overall worst performance of a cast in its entirety of all time. I've never seen a movie where every single performance is terrible with this many talented people. That tells me something else was wrong, maybe the director? Ms. Warren looks and sings OK I suppose, but her acting is pretty stiff to put it nicely. The rest of the cast is actually much worse with Stuart Damon giving an unbelievably uncharismatic and stilted rendition of the prince. Even the king and queen are just awful and I love Ginger Rogers! Walter Pidgeon looked asleep as did just about everyone else. The stepmother and stepsisters get an A for effort here, but the acting was from the land of the zombies or mummies or something. Very strange. I can't quite figure out what people like about this and of course I'm talking about adults. No, I'm sorry, but the Disney animated version is absolutely superior in every single way.
