Rating: 5.0
Just wonderful
My husband and I rediscovered this film when I discovered it was available on your site - I had remembered enjoying it as a child but was thrilled to see it again as an adult - Gemma Craven is a delight as Cinderella and the songs are charming - while Richard Chamberlain is young and handsome and the "ideal" Prince Charming - the only drawback is the length of the film, which might be long for younger children, but it is a delight for all family members. My personal favorite song is Protocategorically correct, which seems very Gilbert and Sullivan-ish, while my husband loves What a comforting thing to know.You will not regret your purchase if you love musicals and you are looking for something "safe" for your children or even you to watch - and which does NOT insult your intelligence like most children's "entertainment" does today.So Amazon and public television - when are you guys going to find the archives and get Gemma Craven's performance of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's SHE LOVES ME which was shown on PBS during the seventies with Robin Ellis as her Jimmy Stewart(Shop Around the Corner)/Tom Hanks (You've Got Mail) type penpal. We are waiting for THAT wonderful performance to be available to the public again.
