Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Cinderfella
Lewis is Fella, the servant of evil stepmother Judith Anderson. Desperate to marry off one of her sons to a visiting princess, Stepmother throws a ball, to which Fella is of course not invited. But Fella gets some help from his fairy godfather, who is out to prove that a man need not be handsome or intelligent to marry a beautiful princess. This is a typical Lewis vehicle, with plenty of song and dance and physical humor.
