Product: The Slipper and the Rose: The Story of Cinderella [VHS] (1977)
Rating: 3.0
charming and delightful but..
I first saw this movie as a child and it has always been my favorite telling of Cinderella. The costumes alone are worth seeing. Every aspect of filming is exquisite. Gemma Craven is perfectly cast as Cinderella. She lets the stepmother know she hates her. Annette Crosby as the godmother is wonderful. She injects a great sense of humor into the movie as a godmother who complains about being overworked. Margaret Lockwood is a delightful wicked stepmother. It surprised me that Richard Chamberlin is such a good vocalist, but he is worth seeing and hearing.My major complaint is that the songs are long which may be hard for younger viewers. It sometimes can tax older viewers as well.
