    • Trivia
      The white dress that Cinderella wears to the ball was so heavy that after 12 hours of shooting, Lesley Ann Warren was unable to move her shoulders and had to be injected with a muscle relaxant.
    • Goofs
      Cinderella runs out of the ball, but as she appears outside, her glass slipper is already there ahead of her. Her yellow stocking feet are bare. She runs past it, then looks down at it.
    • Quotes

      Prince: What is your name, lass?

      Cinderella: I am called Cinderella.

      Prince: Cinderella. And why are you called that?

      Cinderella: Because I sit among the ashes.

      Prince: And why do you do that?

      Cinderella: To warm my feet. You see, sir, I sleep in the attic where it's always cold.

      Prince: And why do you sleep in the attic?

      Cinderella: The other rooms are occupied by my stepmother and my stepsisters.

      Prince: And where does your father sleep?

      Cinderella: [looking up hopefully] In heaven.

    • Alternate versions
      Sony's 2002 DVD, possibly sourced from a tape used for a rerun, cut out some of Cinderella's first meeting with Prince Christopher -- specifically, her explanation that her stepfamily went to the town square to see the prince. Shout! Factory's 2014 DVD, sourced from the master tape, restored the full scene, as well as commercial bumpers and station identification.

    The classic version of Cinderella
    I've only seen the 1965 version of R&H's Cinderella once.

    I'm not sure why it's listed as 1965 as I'm sure I saw it in 1964.

    In Melbourne, our fourth TV channel was about to launch (the first three commencing in 1956). I can remember the launch of ATV10 vividly. I used to watch the test pattern before it officially went to air. For much of the time they played the 1957 CBS LP of Cinderella because the "new" version was in their first week of programming.

    I was 15 at the time and managed to record the music on reel to reel tape. I loved all Rogers and Hammerstein's productions and immediately was attracted to the music and lyrics. And one could argue that because everyone already knew the story of Cinderella the entire production almost worked in one's own mind by simply listening to that soundtrack.

    It was musically so well done in the original 1957 version. Several years later I found the LP and couldn't buy it quick enough.

    I saw the "1965" version and was totally absorbed with it. Arguably it was the best cast to ever perform it. So many stars who were all well cast. Particularly Barbara Ruick and Celeste Holme.

    The only bit I've ever seen of the 1957 production is a B+W clip of Julie Andrews singing "In my own little corner". My God I wish I'd seen it live - in colour. I saw it in the TV special : Rogers and Hammerstein - The Sound of Movies.

    I enjoyed the 1999 TV version - but I don't think Brandy was strong enough musically - and frankly I thought she was miscast. I also didn't like some changes to the fundamental rhythyms that R&H created.

    I can't understand why the R&H version of Cinderella hasn't become as popular as the story itself. I guess this has something to do with the R&H Organisation. It would be a wonderful show for school children to perform.

    The 1957 soundtrack is one of my favourites. And I would love to see the 1965 version again. Maybe it wasn't popular in Australia because I can't recall ATV10 ever screening it again. But R&H were very paternalistic over their shows. Possibly too much.

    I think R&H's Cinderella will live forever.

    A Lovely Night ... indeed!
