Reviews of The Slipper and the Rose: The Story of Cinderella

A kitchy, old school Cinderella story.

This is the original story of Cinderella, before the adding of mice and swallows. It's a fairytale, but first and foremost, it's a musical.

Gemma Craven plays Cinderella, the daughter of a count, made to become a household servant, when her father dies.

This film reeks of Britishness and has a whole song devoted to Protocol...a whole song. You won't find that in this day and age, that's for certain.

This film was made in the 70s and naturally has a cheesy 70s feel about it..once you've got over it, you'll find a nice, well known story, punctuated with some well made and well performed songs. This is definitely a woman's film and will not appeal to men...I'm almost certain.
