Ever After: A Cinderella Story is a
1998 film inspired by the
fairy tale Cinderella, directed by
Andy Tennant and starring
Drew Barrymore,
Anjelica Huston, and
Dougray Scott. The screenplay is written by Tennant,
Susannah Grant, and Rick Parks. The original music score is composed by
George Fenton. The film's closing theme song "
Put Your Arms Around Me" is performed by the rock band
Texas.
The usual
pantomime and comic elements are removed and the story is instead treated as historical fiction. It is often seen as a modern,
post-feminism interpretation of the Cinderella
myth.
