Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best Cinderella stories of all times. Would recommend this movie to everyoneMovie 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)!
Movie Review: Finally Found It!
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't seen this in about 15 years probably, but I am glad that I finally found this movie. For years, I've had vague pictures in my mind of a lovely Cinderella-type movie that I used to watch in the 80's when I was in elementary school. I am so glad that my search led me to the movie! I'm amazed that the few images I still had of it in my mind made sense when I saw the title and picture.
This movie is good, but I would think that unless you have fun memories tied to it, it would be too "outdated" to suddenly watch it and love it right now in the 2000s, unless you happen to love older musical movies from the 70s and 80s.
I don't think I would like it as much if I'd just watched it right now. It's mostly meaningful because I remember watching it when I was little and have good memories of it.
Movie Review: Worth your time
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this movie when it first came out thirty years ago. The music is wonderful. Just what you would expect. The take on the story is a little different but not so different as to disappoint diehard Cinderella fans. There is more of a back story to the Prince and a new dilemma keeping him and Cinderella apart. The stepmother and stepsisters are divine. They nailed the parts. The fairy godmother is a riot and probably my favorite character in this movie. The incidental love story of the prince's companion-at-arms and a lady-in-waiting is very charming. I have always loved fairy tales and I was not disappointed in the retelling of one of the world's favorites.
