Cinderella (1947 film)

Cinderella (Russian: Зо́лушка) is a 1947 Soviet fairy tale musical film by Lenfilm studios. Fairy It is terribly harmful not to go to balls when you deserve it. Now I'm going to do miracles. I adore this job. Page Boy I'm not a wizard yet. I'm just learning. Stepmother I have such connections that even the king himself would be envious. It's a shame the kingdom is so small, I have no room to roam. Oh well, I'll quarrel with the neighbors. I can do that well! I'll complain to the King! I'll complain about the King! King ...Or, for example, Tom Thumb. He always plays hide-and-seek for money. We're going to play royal forfeits now. No one assigns any forfeits, no one pays any forfeits. Everyone does whatever the king wants. (to Prince) Are you in love?! I'm leaving! To hell, to the devil, to a monastery! Live your life as you please! Why nobody told me yet that you've already grown up?! Connections are connections, but ultimately, you have to have a conscience. Someday they'll ask, "What exactly do you have to show us?" And no connections will help make your foot small, your soul big, and your heart just. Marquis of Pas de Troyes What's wrong with you, my beauty? You're limping, my beauty! Hey, your shoe just ran away from you, my beauty! Dialogues Stepmother. Well, Cinderella, you seemed to want to run to the park and stand under the royal windows. Cinderella. May I? Stepmother. Yes, yes. Yes, my dear, yes, yes... Yes, but first, tidy the rooms, wash the windows, scrub the floors, whiten the kitchen, weed the garden beds, plant seven rose bushes under the windows, sort seven sacks of beans — separate the white ones from the brown ones... know yourself... and grind coffee enough for seven weeks. Fairy. Today, your friends will do the work for you. Hares will weed the garden beds, mice will sort the beans, cats will grind the coffee. Cinderella. And the roses? Fairy. The roses will grow on their own. Stepmother. Where were you? Forester. In the forest. Stepmother. What were you doing there? Forester. Wanted to fight a rabid bear. Stepmother. Why? Forester. To get a little distraction from household chores, darling. King. Hey, hey! Gatekeepers of the Fairytale Kingdom, can you hear me? Gatekeepers. We're listening, Your Majesty! King. Did a girl ever come out our kingdom gates wearing just one shoe? Gatekeepers. How many shoes did she have? King. One! One! Gatekeepers. Blonde, brunette? King. Blonde, blonde! Gatekeepers. And how old is she? King. About sixteen. Gatekeepers. Pretty? King. Very much! Gatekeepers. Aha, we understand. No, she didn't! And no one else ever did! King. So why did you question me so closely, you blockheads?! Gatekeepers. Out of curiosity, Your Majesty! Out of curiosity! King. Soldiers! Do you know what is love? Soldiers. A-ah! King. My only son and heir fell in love. And fell seriously in love. Soldiers. O-oh! King. Damn, what a bummer. What should we do now, Marquis? Marquis of Pas de Troyes. Dance, of course!
