Watch Cinderella For Free

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I love this movie! I wish they still showed it on TV like they do The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, and other movies like Gone With the Wind. I love all of the actors in this movie. I love Stuart Damon and Leslie Ann singing together. I thought he was my prince. This is one of the movies that takes me back to my childhood. I still remember all of the songs! I wish that they would sing together again on a show or have a show where they sing all of the songs from the movie. After they get through singing the songs they need to show the old movie again. Most children today don't know what a good movie is or what good music is. I hope they will show this on Hallmark!

I remember seeing this version of Rodgers' & Hammerstein's Cinderella as a very young child of 5 years old. I was captivated by the songs and the dreamlike love story of Cinderella and the Prince.As a young child, I did not understand all the words, but I knew I liked what I heard and saw. Now, as an adult, I clearly appreciate the talents and magical lyrics Mr. Rodgers and Mr. Hammersteins penned and scored together.The beauty of this production took on a whole new meaning when I saw it for the first time in color. (We did not have color television in 1965 when it first aired).Although Lesley Ann Waren was virtually an unknown, her youth and innocence added a lovely sparkle to the role of Cinderella, and Stuart Damon was a perfect prince.CBS would air this project around the Holidays, and each year I was enchanted as if I had seen it for the first time. I have the DVD and I feel the same today.

For the sheer pleasure of enjoying Rodgers & Hammerstein's music at their finest, Cinderella is well worth lending an ear to. The songs are still splendid: "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?" is richly sung by STUART DAMON (in fine voice) and LESLEY ANN WARREN (not as polished as Julie Andrews in the original). And the others are given fine vocals too: "Ten Minutes Ago", "In My Own Little Corner", "Impossible", "In the Loneliness of Evening", "A Lovely Night" and "The Step-sister's Lament".As the two romantic leads, Warren and Damon do fine work displaying just the right amount of innocence and charm in their rather sketchy roles. WALTER PIDGEON and GINGER ROGERS make a regal pair as the King and Queen; BARBARA RUICK and PAT CARROLL are splendid as the clumsy step-sisters vying for the Prince's attention; and JO VAN FLEET does a wickedly funny impersonation of the Wicked Step-mother.Seeing it years later, I was surprised at how primitive the television sets were in those days (the late '60s) at a time when color TV was still a bit of a novelty...but they don't detract from the overall charm of the musical production.It's nice hearing STUART DAMON give a robust baritone voice to The Prince and the only shortcoming in LESLEY ANN WARREN's role is that her voice is not quite up to Cinderella's standards, especially after hearing Julie Andrews in the role.All that aside, it's an undivided pleasure to watch and listen to those gorgeous R&H melodies. The waltz theme alone is infectious.

This film is a treasure. Everything about it is perfect. The cast give amazing performances. Lesley Ann Warren is excellent as Cinderella, as is Stuart Damon as Prince Charming. Celeste Holm is wonderful as the Fairy Godmother. Walter Pigeon and Ginger Rogers are great as the King and Queen. Jo Van Fleet is amazing as the Wicked Stepmother, and Pat Carroll and Barbara Ruick are hilarious as the Stepsisters. The songs, including "In My Own Little Corner", "Impossible; It's Possible!", "Ten Minutes Ago", and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful", are some of Rodgers and Hammerstein's greatest (you can't help but hum them)! The sets and costumes have a beautiful storybook quality to them. This is a film not to miss! Recommended. 10/10
