    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The scene where Cinderella (Gemma Craven) is seen swinging on a chair surrounded by climbing flowers while she is in exile is a direct reference to the well-known painting "The Swing" by Jean-Honore Fragonard, a famous French artist who was praised for his use of color. Details of Cinderella's costume and setting are similar to Fragonard's painting, right down to the color of her dress and the style of her hat.
    • Goofs
      During the dance sequence in "Protocoligorically Correct," the men dance on the large table in the library, leaving footprints all over its surface. Moments later the footprints have completely disappeared.
    • Quotes

      Fairy Godmother: No one will recognize you for what you are. People seldom do.

    • Crazy credits
      At the climactic ball scene, the main characters approach the camera in pairs, bow (as their names appear onscreen) and then join the dance, starting with featured players and working up the cast list to Gemma Craven and Richard Chamberlain.
    • Alternate versions
      NBC edited 16 minutes from this film for its 1981 network television premiere.

      Featured in Stairs (1986)

    7/10
    The Long-Lost Top-Notch Musical that I Never Got to See Again
    I, too, have been longing forever (since VCRs appeared) for this musical to become available on video. The Sherman & Sherman (& Morley) songs are perfectly good, and the choreography is super, but what I remember best is the great, iconoclastically non-chalant Fairy Godmother character (Annette Crosbie). I put her among the greatest steal-the-show supporting characters of all time, right along with Nicol Williamson's Merlin in "Excalibur."
