This version of Cinderella was made for TV. CBS had a playhouse, which they produced very good, but not quite cinema quality fare. This version starred quite a few well known, familiar faces. One in particular, Stuart Damon was TV famous afterwards, since he has, for quite some time played Alan Quartermaine on General Hospital.

This production has Rogers and Hammerstein score, very simple sets, even simpler special effects (well it was 1964). This has always been my all time favorite Cinderella.
