Rating: 3.0
Mediocre
I've seen and I own a lot of Cinderellas. Some are pretty obscure (Sophia Loren and Omar Shariff in More than a Miracle.)The best I can say about this is that it's mediocre. The music is pretty forgettable, despite the Oscar win. I actually remember watching the Oscars that night being at a lost as to why this film won.The costumes are beautiful, the acting so-so. But on a whole it is bloated and overhyped.Even the Leslie Ann Warren Disney TV version is better.Unless you are a rabid Richard Chamberlain fan, pass this up. Do you really want to see Chamberlain embarrass himself by singing and dancing?
