Cinderellas silberner Schuh (1976)

Cinderellas silberner Schuh: Directed by Bryan Forbes. With Richard Chamberlain, Gemma Craven, Annette Crosbie, Edith Evans. A musical retelling of the classic tale of Cinderella. In the tiny kingdom of Euphrania, the King and his court are anxious to get Prince Edward wed. But Edward wants to marry for love.

“Beautiful sounds bizarre if you do not ignore the similitaries with the musicals – fairy tales adaptations of the period. But the gifts, the precious gifts are the actors, the humor and the songs. And, sure the atypical godmother fairy. Edith Evans, Annette Crosbie, Michael Hordern,Kenneth More,Christopher Gable and Richard Chamberlain are the basic motives to see, again, time by time, this lovely film, a Christmas one, off course, because, more than each Halmark production, preserves the spirit of it. So, an old fashion lovely adaptation of classic fairy tale . And that is just, just great.”
