Chamberlain is Prince Edward of Euphrania, who is being forced to marry a princess in order to form an alliance between his and the princess's countries to stave off an impending war. Enter Cinderella, who, after being granted one night of happiness by her fairy godmother, meets and falls in love with the prince at a ball, but, of course, has to leave before midnight, leaving the prince with only a glass slipper as a clue to his new love's identity. This often overlooked musical has many ardent fans as well as lyrics and music by the famed duo who brought you MARY POPPINS, THE JUNGLE BOOK, and CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG. [More]

[DVD Details]
 
 
  • 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 songwriting 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. Available for the first time on home video in its complete, full-length version.
