Product: The Slipper and the Rose: The Story of Cinderella [VHS] (1977)
Rating: 5.0
An almost-perfect movie
This movie has been a favorite of my family for over 20 years -- it was never adequately appreciated, and it's a blessing that it is finally available on video! Of course, little girls who thrill to the story of Cinderella, and who love beautiful costumes and magic will be delighted. However, the movie offers much more -- including for adults. The King and his ensemble performing "We must be protocol-ogorically [sp?] correct" is worth the price of admission itself! They are delightful. The fairy godmother is the best I've ever seen in a Cinderella story -- completely appealing! And -- what can be said of Richard Chamberlain, except that he makes an utterly charming and hansome Prince Charming. He's handsome, he's funny, he's athletic, he sings well ~~ and he should capture the heart of any princess. A THOROUGHLY WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL MOVIE!
