Three Wishes for Cinderella (1973)
Member Rating:  
Released as Three Wishes for Cinderella in the US, Tri Orisky Pro Popelku has been a Christmas tradition in the Czech Republic since its original release in 1973, and also enjoys a large fan base in Germany. Based on the story by Bozena Nemcová, director Vaclav Vorlicek retells the classic Cinderella fairy tale with modern-day socialist feminism. Popelka (Libuse Safránková) is a servant in the house of her stepmother (Carola Braunbock). A resourceful and independent young girl, she confides her closest friend the owl. When she comes across three magical acorns, she is granted a single wish for each one of them. She meets the Prince (Pavel Trávnicek) in the woods and competes with him in sharpshooting and matches his wit in riddles. After disguising herself in hunting outfits, she makes her final wish for a beautiful wedding dress. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

It's been 30ish years since I last saw this movie on the Fran Kookla (??) and Ollie show (or something, it's been a while). I've always remembered it, it was in English then, but it was as good as memory served (except the actors look awfully young now!!). The subtitles were rather terse and occasionally misspelled but if you look at it as a foreign film w subtitles and enjoy it for the story and scenery it's good. My 8 year old daughter loved it so we're now planning on buying it. It's a good version for Cinderella lovers.

This is a classic. I grew up in the Czech Republic and watched this movie every year around the holidays. When I came to the US I was so glad to have found it on DVD. My two girls and I keep the tradition going by watching it at least once a year. It is a great movie that will never get old...try it you will love it!

This is a charming movie that can be shown at anytime, not just Christmastime. The music in it is well done and fits the mood of the film.

Growing up in Germany, Czech movies were one of my favorite films. There was a lot to like about them, and I was excited to come upon this one. But only about 10 minutes into the movie I gave up. This one was terrible. First off, it's in Czech with below par subtitles, there were so many misspelled words, it was a shame. I knew it was an old movie, but the picture quality was terrible, maybe they should have dusted it off before transferring the to DVD. Stay away from this one, unless you are in the mood for something terribly boring.

This movie was from some eastern block country made in 1973. What a waste of time! Movies of this caliber shouldn't be in the lineup. Seriously.
