In Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s glittering fantasia – shot in Jack Cardiff’s sumptuous Technicolor photography, with captivating ballet sequences and Oscar-winning sets and music – a young ballerina is torn between the demands of love and art. Like the heroine of Hans Christian Andersen’s source fairytale, whose magic shoes compel her to dance, Victoria Page (played by real-life ballerina Moira Shearer) finds herself driven to breaking point by obsessive Russian impresario Lermontov (Anton Walbrook) when she’s cast in his ballet The Red Shoes.
