Rating: 5.0
Wonderful Cinderella movie
I saw this movie in the movie theater when I was 10 years old. For years I looked for it to be on TV and have always considered it my favorite movie, even though none of my friends had ever seen it. When my now husband and I were dating we were talking favorite movies. He asked me what my favorite was and I told him it was one nobody had ever seen and did not tell him. I then asked him what his favorite movie was. He said it was also one nobody had ever seen and was called "The Slipper and the Rose". I knew then we were meant to be together! Twenty-four years later it is still the favorite movie for both of us.I bought the DVD and CD when it finally became available. Love the story, love the music, love the actors. Not your usual Cinderella story because of the twist at the end. I especially love the waltz scene where they first meet, the Rockette kicking line and dancing on tables with the King and his advisors, and the song and dance in the mausoleum. Romance, comedy, drama, singing--it has it all.I have introduced this movie to others, including my children who love it as much as I do. Wish it wasn't now so expensive to buy because they would like it for their DVD collection too!
