Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella"

Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella"

Cinderella is a teenage girl forced to do all of the menial tasks in the home she shares with her coldhearted stepmother and homely stepsisters. One day when home alone, Cinderella shares a cup of water with a thirsty and handsome traveler, not realizing until he continues on his journey that he is the crown prince of the kingdom. Shortly thereafter, the king and queen invite every young maiden in the kingdom to a royal ball so that the crown prince can find a girl to marry. Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters go to the ball, leaving Cinderella behind to wish about how her life could be. While she is daydreaming, she is visited by her fairy godmother, who makes it possible for her wishes to come true.

Stars Lesley Ann Warren and Stuart Damon with Celeste Holm, Jo Van Fleet, Barbara Ruick, Pat Carroll, Walter Pidgeon, and Ginger Rogers as the Queen. Originally broadcast in the United States on February 22, 1965.
