The Slipper and the Rose**       

(GB 1976)

The Cinderella story, a lavishly staged cinema pantomime with some welcome cameos from veteran stars, and some good numbers that can smack of over-indulgence, as too is the film's unnecessary length. That such a film of that kind could be made at all in the 1970s was welcome enough - at the time however it did not lead to a revival.
