Cinderella tells the tale herein, on the phone to her friend Sadie. This is effected with a nice split screen with both Cinderella and Sandie featured.
Cinderella related how she wanted to go to the ball and how her fairy Godmother appeared. This God mother is shown (acting like Mae West) and makes this possible.
Cinderella goes to the ball and is a hit with the prince (who acts like Harpo Marx).
The Prince then comes to Cinderella's home to get her to try on the slipper, but the Mae West Godmother intercedes and says that the slipper is hers and so is the Prince! And the Godmother exists with the Prince!
The End!

The plot of The Verdict resolves around gangsters trying to 'fix' a jury.
Too much is rushed during the last ten minutes of this 59 minute British B movie, however. And little happens during the first 30 minutes, making watching this pretty much a waste of time.
The acting is maybe OK, but nothing in this is shot well or planned out well.
I watched it to see Zena Marshall, after seeing her give a fine performance in The Embezzler (1954). Watch that movie instead and avoid The Verdict.
Both are B productions, but The Verdict really doesn't work and is not particularly engaging. To boot, the ending seems like a twist, but it is one that would collapse the day after once several witnesses/participants in the various doings herein would be questioned.
5.25/10.

40 years of marriage is called the Ruby anniversary.
For such herein an Irish husband buys his wife a cemetery plot near where they first met. She doesn't take this gift well and for the first 7-8 minutes of this 17 minute short they argue. In the first half of this the acting and/or dialogue (depending how you fault it) is rather poor. Then they make up and then we as viewers are 'treated' to almost 3 minutes of end credits as if this was a feature film.
Summary: 19 minute short - 8 minutes of a poor first half + 3 minutes of credits leaves about 8 minutes (for a funeral and a walk on the beach).
The accolades for this short (see poster), in short, are beyond me.
