Summary: I have seen this film 1000 times....
Review: This film was released when I was six years old, and I dragged my grandmother to the cinema at least 20 times that Summer! Luckily, she enjoyed the film as much as I did. This is a brilliant take on the old Cinderella story. Fantastic cast, wonderful songs (and I'm an opera singer now, so what I say goes!) and stunning costumes.
Everyone I have forced to watch The Slipper and the Rose has been an instant convert...grown women, children - BIG hit with gay men due to liberal use of big frocks, silly wigs and camp acting by at least half the cast...
I guarantee this film will magic you away from a rainy day, and have you walzing round your sitting room being Gemma Craven. Enjoy.

Summary: The Slipper and the Rose
Review: If you're a Cinderella fan, this is a MUST. However, it isn't just your typical Cinderella story; there's more to it than the usual which makes it more interesting. It's funny, it's sad, it's happy and more than anything it's musically wonderful. The Sherman brothers have done it again with their Mary Poppins type music!!!! I especially liked the novelty songs of "What a Conforting Thing To Know" and "Protocoligorically Correct" And the voices of Richard Chamberlain and Gemma Craven are wonderful.
The ball was especially colorful with the rainbow of colors in the ball gowns and there has never been a more beautiful Cinderella or a more handsome Prince Charming. Need I say more?
I would highly recommend this family movie to anyone that wants to just sit back and enjoy a wonderful story.

Summary: A great movie
Review: I liked this movie very much. It's the second in my personal list of CINDERELLA movies. R. Chamberlain was a great Prince and Gemma Craven a beautiful Cinderella.

Summary: Reliving History
Review: I remember watching this movie when I was a little girl and fell in love with musicals. It was one of the best Cinderella stories ever. I have always wanted to purchase the movie but could never find it anywhere. I am happy to see that it is finally available on DVD. Any little girl can watch and dream about being Cinderella.

Summary: Nicely done!
Review: I love this movie. But why is it in the kid's movie section? The humor in it is not really for kids.It's refreshing to have the Cinderella story told from the prince's point of view. Handsome, young Richard Chamberlain on the lead certainly didn't hurt. Is it me or do anyone of you viewers see how the young Gemma Craven resembles Alicia Silverstone? Another thing that's great about this movie is the music, especially the lyrics. Sherman brothers were funny as hell to pen the lyrics. Over all, the music, cast, production design all went tightly with the story line. Make sure you listen to the director's commentary. He's done a good job commenting on his film and you can feel the commitment and passion he brought to directing this movie.

Summary: Divine, simply devine!
Review: I love this film, have since I was about 12 or 13 it is a beautiful piece of musical history! Some folks here have complained about how long the songs are, well folks go watch any old musical and the songs aren't short!
Disney's one of the few musical filmakers who does short songs because they are marketing their films for kids.
While this film is perfectly acceptable for kids it was not made for children, it was made for adults to listen and love the songs, humor and storytelling of one of the oldest tales of all time!

Summary: charming and delightful but..
Review: 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.

Summary: This movie has stuck with me for 20 years!
Review: I first saw this when I was just a little girl, and this was my favorite movie for years and years. And now, seeing it as an adult, I have a whole new perspective on it - but it's as charming as ever! The costumes are really beautiful and striking - the combination of choreography, costumes and music of the ball scene is quite something! The characters are endeering - I loved this Cinderella, and of course, Richard Chamberlain makes a very Charming Prince. The fairy godmother was really funny and one of my favorite scenes was the preparation of Cinderella for the ball. With more story to it than the average Cinderella movie, I find this one to be really heart-rending and passionate, yet clever and funny at times, too. I recommend this one to every romantic heart.

Summary: Really terrible - save your money!
Review: Don't believe the glowing reviews that fooled me as well --
this is a really terrible musical version of Cinderella.
Despite wonderful photography, locations, and Richard
Chamberlain, the songs are dreadful and tuneless, and the
plotting and direction extraordinarily dull. After the
first two musical numbers (there must be dozens) even my
7 year old daughter was complaining -- "The songs just go
on and on and on!" The only redeeming feature is that you won't
find the tunes stuck in your head - they are instantly
forgettable. Get either of the Rodger's &
Hammerstein's Cinderella's instead!
