Three Wishes for Cinderella (1973)
Glass Shoe Diaries
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Facets has released the very charming Three Wishes for Cinderella (1973, Facets, $19.95) on DVD. This odd Czech version of the famous story is warmly compelling right from the start. It moves fast and doesn't contain any musical numbers, and it combines a nice sense of humor with a sense of wonder. But most of the film's success comes from the lovely and charming actress Libuse Safr�nkov� as Cinderella. Instead of talking mice, this time she gets three magic acorns, which, once cracked provide disguises for her -- as well as her magnificent ball gown. Facets' DVD comes in a crisp full-screen transfer with scratches and flaws in the film stock still evident. The subtitles are not the greatest, and at one point they unintentionally serve up a dirty double-entendre.
