Cinderella '80

1984 · 110 min

A frothy, tuneful fairy-tale romance that coasts on charm, sunny Italian locations and a sweet will-they-won't-they sparkle.

Overview: A feisty 18-year-old Italian-American New Yorker named Cindy is sent off to Rome with her irascible stepmother and vain stepsisters. On the way, she meets and falls in love with, globetrotting bagpacker Mizio, who eventually turns out to be of Italian nobility. There's a fairy stand-in in the form of a spaced-out astrologer, a dance, and she even loses a shoe at one point. Care to venture a guess how it all turns out?
