Cinderella in Harlem

Hello, I was browsing movies online and I ran across this page. I saw Cindy when I was a little girl and fortunately for me I recorded it and I still own the cassette to this day, and with the advances in modern technology I have been able to convert it form VHS format to DVD format. I loved this movie and I still watch it every chance I get, my nieces also love it, we sing every song in the movie each time we watch it.

If you would like a copy, you can contact me at krystalven524@yahoo.com, and I will be happy to send you one for free!! Hope this helps you guys out!!

I saw this movie when I was a senior in high school. I asked a couple of people the next day if they saw it; no one had. To this day, I still haven't met anyone who saw it. Sometimes I, too, thought I imagined it.

I remember laughing all the way through. The part I remember most is the deadpan way the father (I think) told Cindy that the stepmother(?) was excommunicated from her church for belting out a gospel song in their staid congregation.

I've always wondered if their was some particular reason why it was never shown again.

I can't even find it on video, not even at alternative or "art" video stores.

I saw this movie one time when I was six years old, I'm now 29, and I never forgot it. I asked people through out college and my working years, "Do you remember a black version of 'Cinderella' called 'Cindy' and the little girl had to sleep in the bath tub?" And everyone's response was "No", so I was really starting to think that I had imagined the whole thing, but IMDB is wonderful, because it proved I wasn't crazy...It does exist! And, though I don't remember every detail, it was a great and refreshing update to the old fairy tale. I am proud to be one of the few people who saw it, and better than that, remember it.

I have been looking for this Movie for so Long. I was 9yrs old when I saw this movie, this was my 1st and only time; however I can remember the story line and some of the songs like it was yesterday. It left such a great impact on my life, I grew up in Brooklyn and this movie took place in Harlem, so I could really relate to the movie. My mother was from the south, so it was so real for me. I even remember the sugar Hill Ball, I think it was called that. I am having a hard time finding this movie. For years I have been asking about this movie, however everyone in my age group and older, say they have no idea what I am talking about.I could not remember the woman who played as Cindy, until I did a little research. Clifton Davis and Neil Carter I did remember. There are certain things that really stand out about the movie, like Cindy sleeping in the bath tub. The fire escape really stands out.If anyone knows where I can find this movie please reach out.

This is the best production of Cinderella ever. I can't figure out why it has never been (as far as I can tell) rerun. It features an all-black cast, in a modern setting, with a Cinderella (Cindy) who wants to marry not a prince, but a military man.

In this version, Cinderella's father pretends to have a fancy job at a hotel, but is, in actuality, the men's room attendant.

Cinderella's mom follows him to work one day and angrily confronts him, "You ain't nothing but a lyin, cheatin MEN'S ROOM ATTENDANT!" leading into one of the best numbers I have ever seen in a musical. The men at the hotel rush to Dad's defense in a song, "The Best Damn Men's Room Attendant In the History of the Palace Hotel." At one point, a line of about twenty men file out of one bathroom stall playing brass instruments!

Where did this gem go????
