Julie Andrews was nominated for an Emmy for portraying the titular scullery maid who finds true love with a prince in this legendary adaptation of one of the most famous fairy tales of all time. A musical, made-for-television, with music by Richard Rodgers and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, it is the only of the legendary composing team's musicals created specifically for that medium. It was originally broadcast live on CBS on March 31, 1957, and was a phenomenal success, viewed by more than 107 million people. Though it originally aired in full color, only a black & white kinescope of the production has survived.

the songs were beautiful and executed brilliantly but if you took everything in this movie and left merely Julie Andrews I would be pleased. she was everything! the way she moves, talks, sings. she’s a princess in the best way possible.
the special effects were not nearly as bad as I expected them to be at all and the twist on the godmother was sweet.

Do I love you because you’re beautiful or are you beautiful because I love you

my fave detail would have to be the sparklers added to show the “magic”. from! heaven!

The songs in this musical are so beautiful, and Julie Andrews singing them just makes it ten times better

Oof, this is a pretty lifeless rendition of Cinderella, even with Julie Andrews singing half the songs.
