Cindy

Hey, I recognize this. I surfed into the middle of it on a far-off channel and never knew what it was called. I hit the channel just as the stepsisters were scat-singing about how it's all gonna be happening at the ball. Wonderful stuff. And I was particularly impressed at the un-dumbing of the ending. Let's face it, the traditional Cinderella is nothing but "Who wants to marry a multi-millionaire" and we all know how dumb that is in the twenty-first century. So for this version, the writers used an ending that is equally happy but brings positive values to the fore.

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 thought I was crazy because everyone I asked had never seen this movie. I contacted every television station until I found out who aired this movie. Having only seen it once I find it amazing how much of a impact it had on me. I like you all would love to own a copy of this movie and if anyone has a copy then PLEASE contact me at Swepsoni@AOL.com. If not I think we should all contact the T.V. station and request copies or at least for it to be aired again. This is definitely one to keep, cherish and share with those who missed this wonderful adaptation. It has been a pleasure reading all of your comments and knowing that I am not the only one who saw the movie.

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 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.
