Movie Maven and Cube Critic Stephanie Curtis stops in to The Current's Morning Show to talk to Jill Riley about a new live-action interpretation of Cinderella. You may recognize some of the cast members if you're a fan of Downton Abbey.

Stephanie describes how the story was fleshed out a bit to stretch the Cinderella tale into an 80-minute feature. Beyond Downton's Lily James and Sophie McShera, the film also stars Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, Richard Madden and Nonso Anozie.

Cinderella is rated PG and is playing everywhere. Listen to Stephanie and Jill's conversation by clicking the audio player above.
