Beautiful
By smores from England , 22 May 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
You have to watch this film. It will make you believe in love and magic, beyond any expectation you've ever had.
I grew up watching this film and learned confidence, honesty and respect (as did many of my peers!) and this is all from a fairytale!
Whether you're bored of an evening and have a bottle of wine to hand, or need to entertain a little person with something new on the telly, this will serve you.
Obviously Richard Chamberlain is divine, and Gemma Craven is a lovely Cinderella. This wonderfully filmed and choreographed traditional tale is exquisite!- Was this review helpful to you?

(11)an edible classic
By wisepenny (1 review) , 03 May 2012i love this movie! its a an absolute classic for me, it reminds me of old school cinematography and should be enjoyed for the pure pajama party cheese that we want from an escapist classic. a beautiful visual feast.- Was this review helpful to you?

predictable but pleasing
By a customer from west midlands england , 06 Feb 2007yes its exactly what you would expect but if you are a grown-up fan of fairy tales then get this out, put the kettle on and grab the box of chocs you've been waiting to finish off. This is sweet, heartwarming and yes - completely true to typical happy ending (such an old fashioned concept these days) - but what the heck..I wathced it on my own - my husband simply refused to join me?!) I enjoyed it but I had to became 10 years old again for a while to do it!- Was this review helpful to you?

Fantastic, Great for Children AND Adults!
By a customer from England , 17 Nov 2006I grew up on this film and I still find it absolutely magical, the lighting and music is beautiful. The best Cinderella film around and unfortunately not widely known about!- Was this review helpful to you?

The slip-up and the rose
By Joseph Sales from Colchester, Essex, UK , 24 Sep 2006I haven't actucally seen this DVD, because slightly to my disappointment, I discovered it to be a 'pan and scan' conversion to television format, without the 2.40:1 original widescreen ratio. No extras either, which is another minus.
The film itself I remember from occasional BBC screenings at Christmas, a quite luscious affair with some half-decent songs, but a great cast including Kenneth More, Edith Evans, Michael Hordern, Gemma Craven (in her first film) and the late Margaret Lockwood in one of her last roles of note.
Trouble is, being the Cinderella story, where things would normally end happy ever after, director Bryan Forbes tries to inject some realistic cynicism into the story during the last hour, which is a brave move but also makes the film extend horribly.
I lost patience with it as a result. When a better, proper widescreen version of the film comes along, I would gladly be willing to sit through it.- Was this review helpful to you?
