Subject: Cinderella, Rodgers and Hammerstein
Are you quarantined, isolated, bored? Do what I just did and watch the 1957 and the 1965 films of Cinderella with music by Rodgers and Hammerstein.

I watched the 1957 show with my family when I was eleven. Two songs from it have followed me around ever since. I loved the singing of Julie Andrews, and the prince was so handsome!

Cinderella's singing in the 1965 show was not as good, but she's a good dancer and has beautiful brown eyes. (I've always had a fondness for big brown eyes.) The second show also had a slightly more rational plot, with the prince and C. meeting before the ball and her being kind to him.

In 1997 Disney did a third version, but I didn't care for it and didn't watch long. The costumes and sets were good, though.

As I said, if you're bored, think about it. It's all on YouTube.
