Cinderfella (1960)
Member Rating:  
Both director Frank Tashlin and his comic star Jerry Lewis dilute their comic talents to play for the kiddie crowd in this fractured fairy tale version of the Cinderella story. This simply-told tale lards over the fairy story with un-needed songs and production numbers, but the basic story is still the same, only switched to a male Cinderella. Lewis is Fella, a put-upon flunky to a mean and rich dowager (Judith Anderson) and her three surly sons (all of whom appear to be pushing fifty). Fella falls for the beautiful princess (Anna Maria Alberghetti) and with the assistance of his screwy fairy godfather (Ed Wynn) gets transformed into a pre-Buddy Love lounge lizard who sweeps the Princess off her feet as he struts down an ornate stairway to the beat of The Count Basie Orchestra, leaving his stepbrothers with their mouths agape. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Not one of his best comedies but still good and a nice twist on the Cinderella theme. Jerry is just one great funny guy.

Catrina C.

It is a good movie, but I would like to watch the whole movie. Towards the end the movie freezes up and the movie won't forward to the next sceen.

Once again Jerry Lewis proves he is the comic Genius. Great facial expressions, laughter at its best and believe it or not, no sex, violence or killing. Proves you don't need those 3 items to enjoy a Great Movie. To bad the younger generation doesn't see all of his movies, maybe they could learn something from all his movies. Almost all of his movies have a message. Have fun in life, slow down and smell the roses, and be honest. Great Movie

Jerry Lewis is a comic genius. I loved this movie. Very funny. The music, comedy, casting, and storyline all come together. I loved the dance scene - hilarious.

Yes   |   No

Several major scenes are missing from this version of the film. It is so bad that my children couldn't follow the storyline. I was very disappointed.

Yes   |   No

I saw this as a kid and remembered it fondly. Just watched it again with my kids. Don't bother, it's pretty dull.
