Anybody know how to buy this video/dvd? I've been searching for it for years. This is the version of Cinderella I remember from childhood.... and my favorite!
I love this video, it is my first memory of the film.. but Leslie should use her real voice don't play young.. even though this is the video i remember Julie Andrews voice is the acting .. yes acting I remember.
Thanks so much for putting this online. I'm always afraid that my old VHS tape will break someday. I love this play version, and I love all the songs and dancing and magic. I wish it were available on DVD--I would buy it.
Enjoy it while it lasts - Rodgers and Hammerstein are stingy assholes, and if they spot this, they'll have it removed. They did it with others I was watching (which is why I'm downloading this!).
Also, I think these clips may be the first time I ever saw this in color, because my family didn't get a color set until a couple years after the network stopped re-running this program. Strangely, I think the black and white made the background and the animation look more realistic and have more depth.
Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella" starring Lesley Ann Warren, Celeste Holm, Ginger Rogers, Walter Pigeon and Stuart Damon is one of my favorites and brings back so many memories. It was filmed the year I was born.
This movie came out when I was 3 years old and is still the most magical I have ever seen. I watched it every year with stars in my eyes. there will never be another Cinderella for me.
Of all the versions of Cinderella I have seen, this is my favorite by far. Lesley Ann Warren does an excellent job with this scene in particular. There is usually a line between the song and the arrival of the fairy godmother that Cinderella says here; but at 1:49, instead of saying that line, she bursts into tears! Then her sorrow turns to wonderment when the fairy godmother comes, and it's not long before Cinderella is well on her way to the ball.
This was the first musical on video I ever remember seeing! My little sister and I would dance around the living room singing this song, and the song "It's Possible"!
do you know anywhere i can see the whole movie? me and my mom have been looking everywhere this is our families favorate movie please please please if u have any ideas :) thanks

@ddubsgurl You could try to get it through Amazon.com. I bought a copy from Wal-Mart a while back. It is without question my most favorite films. Lesley Ann Warren always made me cry when I used to watch this when I was little. She was so kind and her step mother and sister's were so mean to her. Also when I fell in love with my first Prince....years later to realize I was watching him as an adult on General Hospital...still quite good looking.
I grew up looking at this movie every Boxing Day (day after Christmas). It was the highlight of my TV viewing over the holidays as a child. There will only be one Cinderella to me and that is Lesley Ann. A truly beautiful believable fairytale.
since first seeing this in '70 at age 7 and falling in "love" with Lesley Ann Warren and this incredible R&H production, I have never grown tired of watching this!
This was always my favorite musical when I was a child...I'm so glad I found this on here. I'm also going to look for the other songs too.....Thank you for the posting :)
This brought back so many memories of my sisters and I singing these songs. We couldn't rewind or record back then. My sister got a tape recorder for Christmas and we taped the audio. What fun.
i love this movie so much. I was born in 1989 when pretty much all the new Cinderella's were out.. but i loved this one the most. I remember playing the vhs rewinding it and playing it again until i wore out the tape.. lol i always hated the blond Cinderella.. anyone know where i can find the DVD?
For those who think this is the definitive Cinderella...you NEED to search out the Julie Andrews verson (these songs were written for her by Rodgers and Hammerstein). It's truly something special...
This is just wonderful. We had the chance to see Celeste Holm this past Monday night at Birdland in NYC. She was in the audience. I sang Dame Shirley Bassey's "This Time" written by Gary Barlow. I must say I was a bit nervous. It was fun.

I wonder what the even earlier versions are like...I haven't seen the versions of the story that were done before the 1950 cartoon, and I would love to see the 1957 R&H version with Julie Andrews, too! Apparently, it's really rare, or something?
Cinderella is one of the more interesting stories in folklore history. I mean, the basic idea of this story stretches all the way back more than 2,000 years, believe it or not. Obviously it's not the same story, and has been adapted countless times, but each version still holds the magic. I personally like all the film versions I have seen (the famous cartoon version, which came out 15 years before this did, and the two R&H versions I have seen) because they all take their own spin on things.
I was 6 years old when this cinderella was first shown on TV and it transported me to ecstasy. How magical and seductive it was, like my soul had been set free on wings. I remember eagerly trotting down the snow-packed road in the white landscape to get to a neighbor's house, a neighbor who owned a TV. Everything seemed to sparkle that evening.
i grew up with this version of Cinderella and I would cry every year after it was over, knowing that it would be a whole year before I could see it again! it hasn't aged particularly well but it is so charming and nostalgic, I wouldn't watch anything else---thank you for posting this; you made this old lady's night :)
@cyd525 I watched this all the time growing up (late 80s), and every time it ended, I'd bawl. My mom says I always said "It's over, and I'll never see it again!" So my mom would just rewind the videotape and I'd be good for another hour and a half. I wore out at least 2 tapes just watching Cinderella. (Now I have it on DVD and watch it whenever I want! :D)
I grew up watching this... the cartoon cinderella seems like an insult to this movie, i love this one, and i cannot imagine life without it... i watched it so much that i actually ruined all the tapes we had of it, and ruined a few of the dvds we owned later.
I grew up in the mid 80s and I watched this! This was on the Disney Channel a lot back then and my mom recorded it for me. I would sometimes watch this 3 times a day. I would dance and sing along. When I watch it now, I still do.
On a snowy February evening in the steel town of Pueblo, CO I watched this production on the first color TV my family owned! A 6 yr old boy in a steel working family fell in love with musicals. I've shown this movie to my son and daughter and we all love it. Thanks for posting these memories!
Live TV. I love how they worked out the flying coach using chromakey.
Can you imagine anybody other than Clooney and SNL attempting something like this now? (He had two teleplays aired on CBS in the late 90s, early 2000s).
I too grew up to "this" Cinderella, but just shared this one with a child who only knows the Disney cartoon version of everything... and she loved it and we now need to buy her her own copy! Best Cinderella ever made!
@8x13Wolf born in 90. But I didn't see this one until after the Disney one, plus I was UTTERLY obsessed with Whitney Houston when I was little. So, when my mom showed me this one I thought it fell short. But now that I'm older I see how incredible this one is, and I appreciate it so much more.
@cocosugar I hear you! This was the first version of Cinderella I ever saw when I was a tiny kid of about four or five in the late 60s, and I used to watch every year. I didn't even see the Disney version till I was much older. Lesley Ann Warren WAS Cinderella as far as I was concerned! How I wished for a record of the songs when I was little. I would go around singing "Impossible" and "In My Own Little Corner" for weeks every time this was re-run!
Thanks for posting this vid! I had a crush on Ms. Warren back when this was on t.v. - but then again, didn't we all? haha! thanks big time!
