Released in 1965, Cinderella is a fantasy, romance, music and tv movie film directed by Charles S. Dubin, running about 78 minutes. “TV-version of the classic fairy tale, set to a Rodgers and Hammerstein score.” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. After the success of the live 1957 Cinderella on CBS (with Julie Andrews), the network decided to produce another television version. The new script hewed closer to the traditional tale, although nearly all of the original songs were retained and performed in their original settings. Added to the Rodgers and Hammerstein score was "Loneliness of Evening", which had been composed for South Pacific but not used.
Who’s in it. Cinderella stars Walter Pidgeon as King, Stuart Damon as The Prince, Ginger Rogers as Queen and Celeste Holm as Fairy Godmother, among others.
