Synopsis

In a hilarious twist on the timeless fairy tale, the irrepressible Jerry Lewis plays the title role of Cinderfella – a hard-working and honest lad mistreated by his wicked stepmother (Judith Anderson) and his two boorish stepbrothers (Henry Silva, Robert Hutton). But miracles do happen – especially when your Fairy Godfather is the one-and-only Ed Wynn! With a little – okay, a lot – of wizardry and magic, the wacky Wynn manages to transform the klutzy fella into an eligible, handsome bachelor, ready to win the hand of a suitable Princess Charming! A delightful comedy romp that also stars Anna Maria Alberghetti.
