    ~*~Classic Film 21 Questions~*~

    in Games and Trivia

    Posted

    Mary Lou and Lolite, you had it "on the tip of your tongues", it is really Perrault's cinderella story....but "J" is correct 100%, it's the movie "The Glass Slipper", based upon that marvelous tale, starring Leslie Caron, Michael Wilding, Keenan Wynn, Estelle Winwood....et, narrated by Walter Pidgeon...This film has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid...I loved Leslie Caron's "tomboyish" approach at Cinderella's character...Loved Elsa Lanchaster's "not-so-extremely-wicked" stepmother, almost funny sometimes...Lurene Tuttle as their relative (the owner of one "ravishing dress")....and the "twist" about the stepsisters, always supposed to be ugly, (Amanda Blake and Lisa Daniels), being very, very beautiful indeed, even, perhaps more "conventionally" beautiful (for the 1950's) than Caron....Well, the ballets, the great dancer Liliane Montevecchi (very attractive and who also danced in MGM's great adventure yarn, "Moonfleet" opposite Stewart Granger, the same year) portraying the "supposed egyptian princess" in Cinderella's dreams, who's gonna marry the prince....and ABOVE all, the funny, engaging, character of the eccentric godmother, so fantasticly portrayed by the one and only Estelle Winwood...who's always speaking about her fave words "apple dumpling", "elbow"... "windowsill"...

     

    As a musicals lover, this has always been a very "cherished" film, from my childhood. In spite the fact that in most Movie TV Guides, and many critics, do not precisely praise the film....IMHO, it's a wonderful fantasy, and it "connected" with me as a child, and everytime I watched, I loved, and I didn't mind watching it over and over, almost 11 times in my whole childhood and adolescence.

     

    Your turn "J"

    Thanks Kimbo...no doubt it must be a great film...seems that the "Letty Lynton" "stuff" is goin' on with other movies as well (A MGM Joan Crawford vehicle that we cannot see because of litigation problems, concerning the play/book upon which the movie was based)....

    Since it is a Warner Bros. 1943 movie, I thought that it belonged to TCM Library, and it does not appear listed there (I searched TCM's Library)...Anyone knows who has the rights to this bewitching film (starring Joan Fontaine and Charles Boyer), I long to watch, someday???

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
