EVER AFTER: A Cinderella Story (1998) A modern day, "realistic" adaptation of "Cinderella", when Danielle's father suddenly dies, her stepmother takes her in as the new servant. Accordingly, there are the two stepsisters, though the word "evil" is only applicable to one, whereas the other sister is quite agreeable. All the same Danielle grows up a content, independent woman who is quite prepared to handle a sudden change of fate when Prince Henry decides to make his way into her life. Still, Prince Henry is not without his own troubles at home. But with the help of Leonardo da Vinci (e.g. fairy godmother), it seems love may prosper after all. The sterling cast includes: Drew Barrymore, Anjelica Huston, Dougray Scott, Jeroen Krabbe, Patrick Godfrey, Jeanne Moreau, Megan Dodds, Melanie Lynskey, Timothy West, Judy Parfitt, and Richard O' Brien. Director Andy Tennant's "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" is a lush, enchanting, delightful, realistic re-thinking of the classic Cinderella story.
