Does anyone know what film this is?

I'm trying to find a film for my grandmother and would appreciate any help. The film is pretty much a Cinderella type of story however that name isn't featured in the title. It isn't the Richard Chamberlain Slipper and the Rose. It's in colour and from what I remember the costumes were rather lavish and the film was what would be described as a period piece.

I don't know any of the actors but the Cinderella role was played by a ballerina who had very short dark hair. I know this isn't much to go on but if it rings a bell with anyone please help me out as it'd really make my gran happy.

Update:

Anisa H- Thank you so much it is that film xx

    The Glass Slipper(1955) with Leslie Caron

    In a small pleasant European village, there is one unhappy person: Ella. She is despised by everyone, and mistreated by her step-mother and step-sisters. Out feeling miserable one day, Ella meets a handsome young man, who falls for her. He is really Prince Charles, the son of the Duke, but he tells her he is the son of the cook, and invites her to a great ball at the Duke's castle. A strange woman who lives in the mountains by herself befriends Ella, and dresses her up so she can attend the ball. She goes, and is a great success, but must run out at midnight. In her haste, she drops a single glass slipper. The Prince uses the slipper to find her.
