Magic Woman (TV Movie 1990)

Magic Woman: Directed by Tom Clegg. With Rob Lowe, Jennifer Grey, Élisabeth Vitali, Andréa Ferréol. A modern Cinderella in Paris: While the plain Kelly Carter jobs as a gadrobiere for the famous fashion designer Francesco, she dreams of designing shoes for him. However she can’t win his attention… until she meets a good fairy on the street, who enchants a pair of Kelly’s shoes, so that she turns into supermodel Prudence whenever she wears them. She attends one of Francesco’s balls and immediately wins his heart. Now, how can she make him love her real self?

“If youu0026#39;re looking for great drama and deep meaning, skip this one. But if you want a new twist on a familiar story, try it. Cinderella was never more fun and Jennifer Grey is quite wonderful. Rob Lowe is beautifully self-absorbed. The fairy god-mother is a hoot! Vain roommates, greedy co-workers and sycophants round out a rather non-traditional cast and keep the spirit light. And I always cheer when u0026quot;Cinderellau0026quot; takes charge of her own destiny. I enjoy it all over again at each viewing. The look inside the world of the fashion industry and the quest to be one of the beautiful people just adds to the pleasure. It is just plain fun!”
