DVD Verdict Review - Cinderfella (1598 words)
Cinderfella has far too many maudlin moments, times when Jerry's character is lamenting his sad-sack life and losing out to his high-maintenance stepbrothers.
Part of the problem with Cinderfella is that producer Lewis wanted to craft a sweet, sentimental family film for a holiday audience (Lewis planned, with Paramount, for the movie to be a Christmas 1960 release).
While Lewis does discuss the importance of music to a film, and how he had to be hospitalized after the classic staircase sequence (he claims to have climbed 67 steps in nine seconds before collapsing), this is mostly a chance for Lewis and Lawrence to goof on and glorify the movie and its makers.
