TITLE |
Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister (2001) (TV Film) |
|
DISABILITY |
Disfigurement VERY MINOR |
|
NOTES |
A very odd
retelling of the Cinderella story |
|
The film
begins in England in 1637 where a woman is begging with her
daughters on the streets. After stealing some herbs she flees ot
Harlem, Holland. and finds shelter with a painter. |
|
The mother
uses herbs to get a rich merchant to fall in love |
|
and marry
with her. He has a beautiful daughter, Clara. He |
|
then loses
everything in a tulip deal (you have to understand |
|
that during
this period referred to as "tulip mania" tulip bulbs were selling for astronomical prices). |
|
When mother
and daughters are invited to ball the beautiful |
|
step-sister,
Clara, is left behind. But a mysterious woman |
|
who
approached the family earlier turns out to be the fairy |
|
godmother.
Oddly she has vivid scars on her face. I must |
|
have missed
the reason for this and it goes against the grain |
|
of only the
baddies having scars. |
