Review of The Glass Slipper

***This comment may contain spoilers.*** One of the best versions of "Cinderella" that has ever been filmed. Leslie Caron gives a splendid performance as Ella. Michael Wilding also does a good job as Prince Charming. Estelle Winwood is hilarious as a kleptomaniac "fairy godmother". Elsa Lanchester does a fine job playing the wicked stepmother. The supporting cast gives good performances also, including Keenan Wynn as the prince's valet, and Amanda Blake and Lisa Daniels as the wicked stepsisters. This version is also highly original. Caron's Cinderella tries to make friends, but is laughed at. Winwood's godmother is a bookish and well-read person. Superb direction by Charles Walters (LILI, also starring Caron), and includes two fantasy ballet scenes! A film for the whole family! Recommended. 10/10.
