A guilty, guilty pleasure, perhaps not one a left-wing feminist should be admitting to in public. Female boomers should recall yearly TV reruns of this Rodgers and Hammerstein production, featuring such delights as "Impossible" and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?" It may appear a bit stark to younger viewers, but part of the charm of this 1964 network TV special, a remake of the live 1957 telecast originally built around Julie Andrews, is its utter simplicity. An extremely young Lesley Ann Warren and Stuart Damon (of General Hospital fame) are joined by Ginger Rogers, Walter Pidgeon, and Celeste Holm. Warren is all sweetness and innocence without a hint of saccharine artificiality, while Damon is a clear-eyed romantic. This very handsome love story is a bit of an oddity, but worth owning just for the memorable score. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Summary: Great entertainment for all ages
Comment: I saw this movie when I was a child and made sure my children got the opportunity to watch it also. My daughter has been singing the songs to my two year old grandson since he was born and he just loves them. I bought the DVD so I could watch it with him and he just went nuts over it!!! This omma (grandma) is a big hero!!!

Summary: Cinderella of my youth
Comment: Having grown up in the 60's, each year I looked forward to watching Lesley Ann Warren as she portrayed Cinderella. I wanted to share with my granddaughters the songs that still stick in my head today...now I have a 3 yr. old and a 4 yr. old singing the sweet music in my ears! Thanks for bringing me back sssoooo many years!

Summary: Great music, but the movie doesn't quite make it to "timeless"
Comment: I remember watching this when I was very little when it was played on the Disney channel in the 80's (I'm almost 25). I loved the music and we actually did the production at my elementary school and I have fond memories of the movie and the show. I recently saw the DVD on sale and decided to buy it, for the music if nothing else. I watched it a few days after I got it in the mail and I have to say, the movie does not age well.

Watching this movie, you can't help but compare it to other versions of the Cinderella tale. This one ends up looking like a high school production. The colors are a little off, the video quality is not up to par, and my generation (and younger) will not recognize any of the stars in the film. If you remember loving this one and want to share it with your children, you may be better off showing them the Disney version with Brandy in the lead (it has the same music and it is done with a little more "magic") which is also called Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella. I would not purchase this version unless you want it for nostalgia, or on a mission to own every version of Cinderella that was ever made.

Summary: A postitive review for Cinderella
Comment: I've loved this movie since I was a young child but only had a copy of it from off of TV while watching PBS. I went to Amazon and found out with much delight that they had it. I quickly ordered two, one to keep and one to give away. My little girl loves it!
