Description:
The Slipper and the Rose is a grand musical adventure in the tradition of The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady. This lavish production features Richard Chamberlain in a spirited retelling of the classic Cinderella fairy tale, and the Academy Award-nominated score is provided by the Oscar-winning song-writing duo the Sherman Brothers (Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang). The Slipper and the Rose is a brilliant mix of fantasy and realism that will enchant viewers of all ages. No musical collection would be complete without this romantically delightful film. Directed by Bryan Forbes (The Stepford Wives, King Rat). Available for the first time on home video in its complete, full-length version.

You know the story: Cinderella rides in a magical pumpkin to the ball, enchants the prince, and flees at midnight. He finds her slipper and tracks her down, and they live happily ever after. But wait! In The Slipper and the Rose, it turns out there's more to the life of a prince than being charming. The king prefers to choose the prince's wife, one of proper social station who would provide a strong political alliance to ward off the kingdom's enemies. That's one of the twists in this 1976 British take on the classic fairy tale, one of a long line of musical versions.
The disgruntled prince, who's as much of a focal point here as the lady with the footwear, is played by Richard Chamberlain, during the years when he was taking on the classics and had not yet been crowned king of the TV miniseries. He displays a pleasant voice opposite Gemma Craven as Cinderella, and veteran character actor Michael Hordern as the king leads the supporting ensemble. Add lavish sets and lush scenery (partially filmed in Austria), humor, fun choreography, and an Oscar-nominated score full of charming songs by Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman (veterans of such Disney movies as Mary Poppins and The Jungle Book, and who also cowrote the script with director Bryan Forbes), and you have a grand, engaging family musical. The 143-minute running time and dreamy, deliberate pace might test the patience of antsy viewers, but this is the first time The Slipper and the Rose has been available on video in its uncut version, and its legion of fans wouldn't have it any other way. --David Horiuchi

I saw this movie in the movie theater when I was 10 years old. For years I looked for it to be on TV and have always considered it my favorite movie, even though none of my friends had ever seen it. When my now husband and I were dating we were talking favorite movies. He asked me what my favorite was and I told him it was one nobody had ever seen and did not tell him. I then asked him what his favorite movie was. He said it was also one nobody had ever seen and was called "The Slipper and the Rose". ... Read More

I have loved this movie ever since I was little. I was very happy to finally find it on DVD and I was very pleased with the quality. Its a great Cindarella story and worth every penny! But it is a musical, so if you don't like a lot of singing and dancing you might want to pass on this.

This is a truly enchanting musical version of the Cinderella story. I first watched this as a young girl and I've recently watched the DVD a number of times. I was amazed that even though over 10 years have passed I remembered most of the story, including song lyrics and dialogue...obviously it made a big impression on me the first time around! Watching the film as an adult is a real treat. There is a lavish quality to every aspect - from the beautiful costumes to the stunning landscape and gauzy cinematography. ... Read More

This is a wonderful musical version of "Cinderella", which i may add is not a Children's fairy tale, it has only been reduced down so that children will get the gist of the tale. But back to the movie, it's amazing. musical lovers will be in heaven, i know i was. The music is cheesy but in the way that you love and are too taken for a ride. you won't be disappointed if you're not a man. (if you're a man and enjoyed it, KUDOS!)

I absolutely love this movie, saw it for the first time as a kid, had an old video version, which I taped off tv. The dvd is so much better, you get to see it restored and uncut. Awesome, one of the best musicals made, love the music!
