The Slipper and the Rose

Summary: A Musical Version of Cinderella!
Review: I remember watching The Slipper and The Rose on TV when I was a little girl and thinking it was really good, it is a musical version of Cinderella and stars Richard Chamberlain and Genna Craven. If you like the Cinderella fairytale than I recommend this movie but buy it on DVD instead of the video tape.

Review: I love this portrayal of the Cinderella story.

It's a musical - and Richard Chamberlain is really entertaining. The storyline is a bit more complex than the typical Cinderella story, which is nice. There's enough to it to justify an entire movie.

The colors and music and dancing in this movie are very, very beautiful.

I loved this movie as a child, and it's still one of my favorites.

Review: Romantic. Beautiful Settings. Believable characters, and Bryan Forbes took the story just a little bit further to make it better than any other version I have ever seen. Worth seeing over and over, no matter what your age.

Summary: It brings back the magic!
Review: I watched the film when I was a young girl. It was fantastic and magical then. 20 years later, I have just watched it again on the new DVD and it was just as wonderful. It brings back all those magical feelings that I haven't felt for a long long time.

Films nowadays are full of exciting sequences, but yet they don't really give you the magical feeling that you felt when you were a young child. This film transports you back into that magical realm!

Richard Chamberlain and Gemma Craven were perfect in their roles. Gemma was extremely likable and had a very charming singing voice.

Review: As a child the Slipper and the Rose was always on at Christmas on television in the UK. I used to love watching it.
I have now moved to New Zealand and they haven't heard of it! I have been hunting for the film for ages, and someone got me in touch with Amazon. Within a week of ordering it, it arrived and I have already watched it twice.
A wonderful movie that will go on and on. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants a good pick me up and oh Richard Chamberlain is yummy in it!

Review: 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.

Summary: Once it was loved...and it still is!
Review: My friend first lent me this video a while ago...and I had a hard time giving it back! This little known, yet very charming musical based on the story of Cinderella is one of the best musicals I've seen. I couldn't see Richard Chamberlain playing the prince, but he does an excellent job and his singing is great! Gemma Craven is perfect in the role of Cinderella and her singing voice is superb. I especially love "I can't forget the Melody". The fairygodmother is the best I've seen and the Dowager Queen adds her own brand of comdedy to the script. This is a great family musical with beautiful sets and costumes. The dancing is excellent and the story is extremly witty and quite funny. This is a not to be missed musical!
