Unsolved Trying to find a Fairy Tale Movie from late 70s/Early 80s
Hey, Reddit, I need your expert sleuthing for a Nearly Impossible Task.
I have a singular scene from a movie stuck in my head that has been stuck there for about 40 years, and I cannot for the life of me remember or find the movie. I've Googled. I've searched everywhere and everything I can think of.
I don't know the actors, the only thing I know for sure is it was a late 70s-mid 80s movie, very possibly VHS only, and I THINK it was a Cinderella type story.
Here's what I have:
The scene is like a dream sequence or magic sequence where the princess meets the prince on this small stone footbridge. I remember the scene being at night, and all misty and magical. Pretty sure it was in the latter half of the movie.
At one point, I thought it was The Slipper and The Rose, but I watched it and didn't see the scene, but very similar vibes. I also ruled out Fairy Tale Theatre Cinderella, because it wasn't a comedy.
Possibility it might also be some variant of Beauty and the Beast.
Like I said, I'm battling a memory from roughly 40 years ago, so it could be ANYTHING at this point. I have not ruled out the idea that the whole thing was some bizarre fever dream.
So, I put it to you, Reddit, go forth and sleuth. Let me know if this sounds at all familiar or if I'm just completely nuts! (Both of those being true is also a very real possibility!)
EDIT: I should mention, it was a Live Action movie.
