Lesley Ann Warren plays the title role in this television production of the classic
Richard Rodgers and
Oscar Hammerstein III musical.
Cinderella (
Warren) is a sweet and pretty young woman who has been given a poor hand by fate; her stepmother (
Jo Van Fleet) treats her cruelly, and while her graceless sisters are invited to a royal ball,
Cinderella is not allowed to attend. But her
Fairy Godmother (
Celeste Holm) has other plans, and
Cinderella attends the ball, where she makes a tremendous impression upon the
Prince (
Stuart Damon). But her
Godmother's magic only works until midnight, and
Cinderella is forced to leave the festivities at their height; will she ever see the
Prince again? And how will he ever find her? This was the second television production of this
musical version of the classic fairy tale; the original 1957 version featured a young
Julie Andrews in the lead.
