Movie Reviews of The Slipper and the Rose
Movie Review: The Slipper and the Rose
Summary: 5 Stars
One of our favorites movies....
A sort-of classic story of Cinderella, set as a musical that could be listed as a comedy. Lots and lots of fun to watch, with very catchy songs, and a cast that includes some all-time quirky actors. It's almost done in a fashion that resembles an on-stage show, complete with the actors doing a curtain-call at the end. And, who knew that Richard Chamberlain had such a fine voice?
Completely clean for families, lots of fun, good music, and enough new twists and tangents to make it a unique Cinderella story.....probably why it never made it "big."
Very well packaged, and quickly shipped!
Movie Review: Best Cinderella Movie - truly magical & romantic... BUT: this is the abridged US-Version, better buy the DVD from 2000
Summary: 4 Stars
I first saw that movie when I was in elementary school and loved it ever since. I have seen this movie so many times now and I can watch it over and over again... The music is amazing (by the Sherman Brothers, who also wrote "Mary Poppins" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"). The story is so detailed and realistic for those times and full of humor and subtle irony. Everytime I watch that movie I find another detail that makes me smile - it is definitely not only for children, but also for adults with a big heart. It was produced with a love to detail. The costumes and the scenery are truly magical and splendid. There are no words to really describe the beauty of them. The dancing scenes are wonderfully choreographed and danced. I would not change one single actor - they all are so unique and could not have been chosen better: I love the slightly confused King, the wicked but stylish Stepmother, the loveable Fairy Godmother and of course Richard Chamberlain as the charming Prince and Gemma Craven as the beautiful and touching Cinderella. I can unconditionally recommend that movie. I have seen most Cinderella movies (old and new, musical and fairy tale, ballet versions etc.) and this is my most favorite!
BUT:
Beware - this is the abridged/edited American version (only 127 minutes and fullscreen). Better buy the DVD from 2000 (based on the British release, 143 minutes and widescreen)!

I loved it. It's a wonderful fairy tale (and if you see some kitschy decorations is because the Godmother is a bit eccentric). Movie Review: Not The Best DVD version out there!
