She sure is. Ive been in awe of her since I was a little boy.

@@DavidMcFarner Me too

Same here! Was thrilled to find this version on KZfaq as I had never seen it before. Loved it!

I never even knew that this movie existed! I just saw it today for the first time and I loved it. The year of my birth, 1957, but I wasn't alive yet when they broadcast this gem. Jon Cypher did become a very well known actor, and much sought after. I worked with his mother [when I was 18] at a lab supplies company in Pittsburgh, PA. She was so proud of her son, Jon, and rightly, so. Have a blessed Christmas.

I remember black and white also, but I think we probably only had black and white tvs since color was new and more expensive!

@@Maya-bu2rf That makes sense

that confession got to me too. Nice that he worked with a woman who was such a pro not to make a huge deal of it and make him feel worse.

It comes off well though, as if she wanted to but decided against interrupting him...

Kaye was my favorite. I about died when she was flirting with men during wedding. Lol

I grew up with the Julie Andrews version, and hated that they remade it (I was a child!). I still have the vinyl album my Uncle John went out and bought as soon as he could. Thanks to him I have all the wonderful musicals of that time. Camelot with Julie and Richard Burton and My Fair Lady etc. The Lesley Ann Warren version was good but it had advantages the earlier one did not have.

I remember them and still have them along with Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, later Barry Manilow, Melissa Manchester, Phoebe Snow and others.

Actually those albums were marketed by Firestone, not Texaco.

I can’t believe there wasn’t a live musical again until I was almost 21 when NBC aired the Sound of Music

@@manuelorozco7760 NBC 's live version of TSOM was a great show. Carrie Underwood was fantastic!

@@allenjones3130 I agree about Carrie

Yes, Dame Julie Andrew's was and is very generous with her co-stars in any broadcast event. She knows what the director and producer are looking for in her performance, so there isn't any need to monopolize camera time. She is the consummate professional performer. This is by far my favourite "Cinderella" of all the productions. Thank you for posting it and for sharing.

@@jeanmarie4462 Mine too

I also love Impossible, In My Own Little Corner, Do I Love You and Ten Minutes Ago

Lots of lovely standing stones in Scotland! I touched the stones at Stonehenge but I am sure it was not at an equinox.

To me, nothing beats the original

Everyone involved in this charming thing was the embodiment and perfect expression of what-we-call "CLASS" today.

I knew Jon at the time he was doing Hill St Blues...and he is SO SO NICE...we became good friends but he moved out of L.A. and we lost contact. Very good guy...

@@zabellehuss737I just “discovered” this gem of a rendition, only a couple days ago! The entire production (sets, orchestration, choreography, and acting talent) is fantastic! And, Jon Cypher’s singing is exceptional and his portrayal of the prince is IMPASSIONED.

I saw it in black and white and I guess it was because color was expensive

Edie Adams explained in a separate interview that they did a kinnescope copy first. Some famous person argued with that it was NOT in color. Edie knew the color version jad her hair different and also that she found photos for publicity saying Cinderella in Color. .Edie sent copies to to the woman who were adamant it was in black and white.

mckavitt It’s Edie, not Eddie, and to me she was recognizable because she looks like Edie Adams.

At least you can find one. There’s none for “Camelot” or “My Fair Lady”. Only bits and pieces and photos. ;)

Disney+ has it!!

I saw a DVD once that stated that for some reason the color video was not saved. I am so glad this one, at least, was!

I have always wondered that. People often talk about how she was not casted in "My Fair Lady". But when she was also not used for "cinderella" people didn't seem to care. she was the best cinderella and eliza. he voice is silky. tge 1965 cinderella star's voice was too cartoonish

In 1957 she was just 21. Cinderella needs to be young. Would a 30 year old be as convincing? Besides, Julie doesn't like to repeat roles so I doubt she would have wanted to do it.

@@gabrielbrewster107 Julie Andrews was not cast in the remake of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella' in 1965 because, by that time, it was eight years since the 1957 original television version and Miss Andrews, as beautiful and youthful-appearing as she still was, at 30 years of age was deemed to have been too old to have portrayed the naive young "Cinderella." As to why Julie Andrews did not portray "Eliza Doolittle" in the Warner Brothers film version of "My Fair Lady," while Miss Andrews by 1964 was a known Broadway star and also well-known in her native England, she was not at that time as well-known in films and internationally. Walt Disney's "Mary Poppins" had not yet been released, much less "The Sound of Music." It was not until "Poppins" that Miss Andrews became the huge worldwide star she would remain thereafter. So, although she was no singer, Audrey Hepburn, who by then was a very famous film actress for over a decade (beginning with the 1953 film "Roman Holiday"), was cast as "Eliza Doolittle" in the film version of "My Fair Lady" instead of Julie Andrews, who originated the role on Broadway. Most of Miss Hepburn's singing as "Eliza," except for some Sprechgesang in "Just You Wait" and trio-singing with Rex Harrison ("Professor Henry Higgins") and Wilfrid Hyde-White ("Colonel Hugh Pickering") in parts of "The Rain in Spain," was recorded by the renowned ghost singer Marni Nixon. Amazingly, even the excellent singing voice of actor Jeremy Brett, who portrayed "Freddy Eynsford-Hill" (the character who sings "On the Street Where You Live") in the film version of "My Fair Lady," was also dubbed, by ghost singer Bill Shirley, who was best-known as the singing voice of "Prince Phillip" in Disney's "Sleeping Beauty."

@@gabrielbrewster107 Lesley Ann Warren did a very credible job in her interpretation of "Cinderella" Miss Warren was certainly believable, very pretty and also younger by a few years than even Julie Andrew, when the latter portrayed "Cinderella" eight years earlier. Where Miss Andrews excelled over Miss Warren was in the singing of the role. Miss Warren was just not a naturally brilliant singer. Still, Miss Warren's singing was quiet serviceable for the production. Stuart Damon (as "The Prince") was more handsome than Jon Cypher, and also more witty. Pat Carroll and Barbara Ruick were comedic stage veterans, very much equal to Kaye Ballard and Alice Ghostley as "The Wicked Stepsisters." And Jo Van Fleet was suitably, sneeringly sinister as "The Wicked Stepmother" too. Celeste Holm's "Fairy Godmother" was more regal and mature than Edie Adams' humorously quirky hovering presence. And Walter Pidgeon and Ginger Rogers certainly lent a touch of Hollywood royalty to the 1965 production. Plus the facilities of CBS Television City in 1965 afforded considerably more spacious digs than the more claustrophobic CBS Studio 72 in New York, utilized in 1957. All in all, both the 1957 and 1965 productions of "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella" have their merits and their disadvantages. Although, admittedly, Julie Andrews' singing was a very big advantage. Coincidentally, Misses Andrews and Warren would work together in the Blake Edwards film "Victor,/Victoria" in 1982, 25 years after the original TV version and 15 years following the remake of "R&H's Cinderella".

She was too big a star by then. LA Warren was the right choice

oi desculpe nao falo portugues então não posso simplesmente "adicionar" uma legenda em português aos vídeos. no entanto, você pode comprar o DVD em sua região e ativar as legendas. cheers!

I think the picture is from the promotion for Cinderella (notice the Pepsi bottle), so I’m keeping it as thumbnail.

The pre-production publicity photographs feature the 'big' dress but it was found impractical in the actual show due to the restricted studio space and also the need on a live show for very quick costume transformations by Julie.

@@TheJulieAndrewsArchive Some folks on the internet are saying that this was the “dress rehearsal tape,” a complete run-through for the benefit of the director and production crew to watch and perfect any flaws, lighting, audio, mic-ing, etc., so they could then present a better live show. But, after watching and re-watching this docu, I’m not so sure. I’m now thinking this was the actual live performance b/w videograph. Am I correct? P.S. It’s tragic that the color version is completely lost to time…

I go by what the back of my dvd cover says. And that some says kinescope of the live performance, not dress rehearsal.
