What's on TV? Thursday, April 17, 1969

I

n addition to the specials I mentioned on Saturday, CBS tonight presents a repeat of the 1965 production of Cinderella, with Lesley Ann Warren, Ginger Rogers, Celeste Holm and Stuart Damon. It didn't quite match up to the original, which starred Julie Andrews and was, at the time of its original airing in 1957, the highest-rated television show of all time; however, it did well enough that it was the highest-rated non-sports special on CBS until 2009. Unlike that original, which was live, this version was on tape, and according to TV Guide, CBS had tried to get Andrews to reprise her role for color videotape. Still, this worked out pretty well. This week's listings are from the Northern California edition.
