Watch The Glass Slipper For Free

The Age of Commercialism

Just perfect...

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Disappointing rendition of the faithful classic. It appeared to me that they were taking the express in this film.Leslie Caron, as Cinderella, comes off as an embittered waif. The parts of her wicked stepmother and step-sisters are grossly under- written. The latter three hardly say anything.The real life of the film is the performance of veteran pro Estelle Winwood, who portrays the fairy godmother with a delightful touch. Kind as they come, she is also into stealing items.Caron, as always, sings beautifully, but there is an almost- like contempt in all her actions. The Cinderella we came to love was anything but this.

when i was a little girl,i saw this movie. It took me years to find it again. i even didn't know the name of the movie. But now, i found it . First，I called her the Cinderella of short hair (Bingle Cinderella) ,and wrote some questions in the internet, but there was no one know the name of the movie . when i almost give up to seek it，i am told that you can find the movie in IMDb .：）the glass slipper is romantic comedy and told us a story about a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances which suddenly change to remarkable fortune. I can't find the DVD of this movie. I just want to watch it again. Isthere somebody can help me ?

This is an interesting retelling of the story of Cinderella--interesting because the story is quite different from the French or German or Disney versions. For instance, Cinderella is NOT a very nice person in this film. As a result of being made fun of for her frumpy appearance, she is a rather short-tempered person--making her more complex and interesting compared to the perfect version in the Disney film. Her sisters, too, are NOT ugly--just vain and self-centered. It's also nice because unlike the traditional story, this one is much more romantic--and this is probably the best aspect of the movie. Seeing Leslie Caron in love scenes with the Price (though she thought the character played by Michael Wilding was just a cook) was delightful. The only serious problem with the film were some of the dance sequences. The dream sequence with the ballet just went on way too long and I am sure it tended to alienate many in the audience---I know it did that for me. In many ways, this sequence was so long and overdone it reminded me of the big dance scene from "An American in Paris"--which you either love or you hate (guess which applies to me!). As for the acting, Caron is her usual wonderful self and she made the film a delight. I also adored Estelle Winwood--she made for a very funny and more human sort of fairy godmother--wonderful and very, very different.This is a hard one to rate. While I loved the film (it really melted my heart), it should have been tightened up by either eliminating or trimming all the fantasy dance sequences, as they tended to make the plot grind to a halt.

Okay, I admit I have long had a soft spot for Michael Wilding--had a terrific crush on him when I was young and was delighted to see him in this film playing the Prince. He had a nice career going for himself in England before marrying Elizabeth and moving to the US. Hollywood didn't quite know what to do with him and he didn't have that many good or even likely roles here. In England he and Britain's favorite blonde, Anna Neagle, made several films in which she sang and the two of them danced (kind of a poor man's version of Rogers and Astaire), so he did dance in films before this picture, but I'm afraid he wasn't terrifically impressive as a dancer. But, boy, he had charm!When I first saw this film I thought it was a bit simplistic, but I was won over by Leslie Caron, a favorite of mine. And it was gratifying to see Michael Wilding, though he didn't get to do much here. Loved Estelle Winwood; she too, was always good. Altogether a very pleasant movie, pretty to watch, if just a little slow. (Or maybe it seemed that way because with this story, there are no surprises--you know how it will end!)
