Cinderella

Have you or your children ever watched a black-and-white movie before, not to mention a musical? Cinderella was a Rogers and Hammerstein musical that aired once on TV back in 1957 and then somehow was lost, just recently to be discovered in some archives somewhere! We were delighted to see it out on DVD since we already knew the music.

Julie Andrews looks as young and sounds as lovely as ever in this comical, staged production. We enjoyed the early TV production techniques since movies and musicals have changed so much in the last 50+ years. The bonus is that isn't too long (76 minutes) and watching it costs far less than a live production (although we love going to see those, too!).
