A more than amusing rendition of the well-known fairy tale.
In the 1950s, these "TV musical performances" were quite common. After several hits, it was decided to make a version of Charles Perrault's story. It's all sweet and innocent, of course.
But still very moving because of the cast, beautiful choreography, playing time and not to forget beautiful music by Rodgers with the addition of Hammerstein's lyrics. Especially "In my Own Little Corner, Ten Minutes Ago, A Lovely Night" and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful" are wonderful highlights. Julie Andrews sings like a smooth bird and is a dazzlingly beautiful appearance as Cinderella. There is a magical chemistry between her and Jon Cypher, who played the role of prince. The romantic scene, in which Cypher shows off his sounds with "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful", is especially beautiful and it seems that the two actors are immersed in an almost magical love affair. Edie Adams as Fairy Godmother is also charming and sings beautifully with Mrs. Andrews. It's Possible!
Unfortunately, the sound and image quality leave something to be desired. I still hope that there will be a release on Blu-Ray (preferably 4K). But is that "Possible"?
