Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (4/4) Impossible (1965)

[@kamadaki431]

Im 40, and this song is embedded permanently in the deep archives of my memory banks

[@Capellaism]

This is still the best depiction of Cinderella, I watched this as a child growing up and still enjoy it up to today

[@janejulien9250]

Yes it is

[@DrJudyASmith]

Loved this when it was fresh and I was young…then it was lost for many years…still my fave. Is it the stage-play, Rogers & Hammerstein effect? I think so!

[@suzanne6005]

Brandy's version is equal too it for me actually.

[@suzanne6005]

Brandy's was also done with Rogers and Hammerstein. There's plenty of good old fashion music in it.

[@Nacho-Mamma]

​@@suzanne6005 Actually, Disney rewrote nearly half of the script & added other songs. They tried to outdo Rodgers & Hammerstein, and I think they failed. It is a much more inferior version than the 1965 version.

[@03Artemis]

I watched this nonstop as a kid, it's amazing how returning to the simple joys from your past can make the future new again.

[@KauaiSis]

Writing this after a year of Covid and after watching this and other R&H Cinderella clips. My heart is lightened.

[@earthstarr32756]

That song is in my head forever since 1965. I was 9!

[@MsRayChay]

My sentiments exactly! What a gift we have in music ! 🎵🎶

Same .... me and my friend were always fighting over who got to play cinderellas part when we would recreate it.

[@tomanderer2386]

Amen! Well spoken.

[@tonl4738]

Lesley Ann Warren will always be Cinderella to me, too! Well, today Prince Charming has died at the age of 84. I am revisiting this beautiful musical at the age of 68 this year. One of my favorite memories of that period of time!

[@jjocis1]

Lesley Ann Warren will always be Cinderella to me!! Such wonderful memories of waiting in anticipation ALL year for it to come on and watching with my mom!! The best times ever!!! Her gown was simply glorious!

[@ez8546]

As an adult, I see the color of her gown was meant to be champagne but, as a kid, I always thought it looked dirty.

[@sweeney60]

I love how Celeste Holm is playing the Fairy Godmother in this but was also in Rodger's and Hammerstein's first musical Oklahoma. This really brought her career full circle.

[@eanderson6982]

Me too. My mom and I would watch this every year on CBS. 😌😌😌

[@lisac.2616]

Seeing this warms my heart and soul. Like many who have written I too loved seeing this each year when it came on tv. Leslie is to me the most beautiful Cinderella. I just love this cast, the songs and the innocence of a beautiful fairytale. It reminds me of my youth when things were so much more simple.

[@marinaj.haskel8619]

I was whistling this while walking home from work today and decided to look it up. Now my eyes are all watery. So many memories

[@melatina66]

I sing this while I wash dishes and when I drive. It makes me happy for some reason.

[@moniquehunt4475]

This is my favorite Cinderella. I loved Lesley Ann Warren as Cinderella she was absolutely lovely.

[@manuelorozco7760]

My favorite Cinderella’s as Julie Andrews and Disneys animated original and live action remake

[@cozzietwothousand2707]

Those huge, dark eyes. So beautiful.

[@jewel8425]

I grew up hearing my mother's beautifully clear, award winning alto sing this to me.... This, and Camelot, Oklahoma, The Music Man, etc. I can't hear at least one song from each (like this one) without getting that toasty warm "I love my mom!!" feeling. Thank you, momma!!!

[@betterbee1304]

My mother loved this movie. Thank you mom. She has Alzheimers but this brings back the fondest memories of us watching together. She was the most wonderful, caring woman I ever knew. Thank you mommy.

[@daceliepins9108]

I was utterly enchanted when I watched it when I was growing up in the 60s

[@SnKnAPlotnick]

"Do I love you because you're wonderful?" I feel like an idiot when this song brings me to tears. It's so moving, I can hardly stand it. So heartfelt.

[@patticarpenter4382]

I LOVE this version of Cinderella. I am a little girl of eight when I watch it on DVD: "In my own little corner/In my own little chair/I can be whatever I want to be."

[@EX3535Design]

My favorite too - and boy did I wear out that song. ♫♪ 😁

[@lexj.7626]

I was obsessed with this version when I was a kid!!😩 As an adult, "Its Possible" that I may belt out this song very loud when I'm alone. 😁

[@juliewalker8450]

One of my favorites. So glad I was a kid when this aired on tv in the late 60’s. Every song and performance is a delight. We need more Joy in our world that things like this provide. Keep hoping and believing that the bastards will not win, and that we will live to sing and be free.

[@magistrumartium]

I haven't heard this song since the 1960s and it's great to hear it again. Just as I remembered! Thanks for posting this!

Happy 70th Birthday Lesley Ann Warren

[@manuelorozco7760]

OH MY GOODNESS. That old? She must be so lucky she lived to see her turn as Cinderella create a legacy. I also seen her in Richie Rich's Christmas Wish as Regina and the One And Only Genuine Original Family Band.

[@MariaVega-rb5mz]

This is one of my favorite movies and the best versions of all times. My favorite song Ten Minutes Ago by Lesley Ann Warren and Stuart Damon. Love It!!!!

[@mariecardenas4679]

We , as a family watched it . My mom , dad n my siblings . Those were happy days . Now I watch all the Disney cartoons n movies with my girls n grandkids . We even took my mom 2 watch Cinderella at the theater in March 2015 n she was 88.

[@antoniojoseverdunavarro8771]

It's a lovely versión. Lesley is great, and the sound track is fabulous. congratulations Rodgers and Hammerstein

[@bubhub64]

Celeste Holm's movements are so graceful and feminine.

[@suebob16]

Fun Fact: Celeste Holm was the original Ado Annie in the first Broadway production of R & H's Oklahoma back in the 40's. How great that she got to be in another R & H production years later.

[@lemmyorleans]

I'm just impressed how well this has been restored and remastered

[@johnmanno2052]

Watched it every year. Knew/know all the songs. Seeing it again, CELESTE HOLM!! Funny the things you remember... and the things you DON'T! 😉

[@dirtered1]

My mom introduced this version to me and as a pre-teen i WAS NOT impressed but little did i know it would stick with me like crazy and now i sing this versions songs more than any other Cinderella. I did a180. Frickin love this version now!

[@bonniebrown6960]

I watched this on Tubi last night . The best Cinderella story ever . I wish shows like this was still on t.v. like it was back in the 70's . I remember when they would have Christmas musical specials on t.v. in the 70's . I guess those days are gone for good . That's too bad , because those were some great moments in my life . I remember my mother telling me and my family that things like this were coming on t.v. that night after thumbing through the TV Guide. I miss those days .

Stacey Vermilyea, I love it too! Especially with Cinderella gloves, hence I call 'em that.

[@thedragonsnortchannel2609]

Stacey Vermilyea Her outfit and makeup alone invokes a bit of Audrey Hepburn, ehich says a lot about the 60s.

[@Mystic47]

By far the best Cinderella version. As other comments say as a kid I knew if I saw the Wizard of Oz, R & H's Cinderella was just around the corner. Reviews I've read put down the singing, but as a kid who grew up listening to Johnny Mathis, and now an adult, I heard nothing other than perfection, in tone and vibrato, in their singing. The production may not have been so grand, but all in all it stands the test of time.

[@buckeyewill2166]

I remember this as a child growing up in the 60s

[@manuelorozco7760]

I saw this version of Cinderella one time and it is as good as when Brandy was Cinderella nearly 20 years ago. Lesley Ann Warren is so beautiful

[@MiamiSpartan1]

[@dawnharvey7859]

Well, of course. The writers had to add this to set it up for when the Prince was having every girl try them on to see if they fit. We knew it would fit her perfectly.

[@ofallmyintention9496]

[@kristylewandowski8485]

This movie is magic! A bonus for me growing up was that my parents actually looked like Cinderella and the prince! (The prince especially, but my mom has high cheek bones.)

[@miamiracer]

I must admit, without feeling like an old fool, that I love this show. I finally got to see the Julie Andrews version when it was released a few years back and have also seen the newer one starring Brandi and the Broadway version but this one has a special whimsical quality that I have always found very appealing. Leslie Ann Warren is so pretty here and Stuart Damon is perfect as the prince. Celeste Holm (the original Ado Annie in Oklahoma), is a class act, and the step-mother and step sisters also do a great job as do Ginger Rogers and Walter Pidgeon as the Queen and King.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I think the Julie Andrews version is the best
