Dance she did, and dance she must - between her two loves

The Powell and Pressburger classic is widely considered to be one of the greatest films ever made. The winner of two Academy Awards in 1948, for Hein Heckroth's Art and Set Direction, and Brian Easedale's music score, THE RED SHOES is the story of young ballerina Vicky Page (Moira Shearer), who becomes torn between her love for composer Julian Craster (Marius Goring) and artistic devotion to her profession, dominated by the impresario Lermontov (Anton Walbrook).Australia's internationally revered Robert Helpmann who also dances the role of "The Boy" choreographed the climactic "The Red Shoes" ballet based on the fable by Hans Christian Anderson. The part of The Shoemaker is danced by Leonide Massine."A Profile of the Red Shoes" includes interviews with Director of Photography Jack Cardiff, camera operator Christopher Challis, film maker (and grandson of Hein Heckroth), Christian Routh and ballerina Darcey Bussell. The rarely seen compile by Cardiff and Heckroth, "The Ballet of the Red Shoes", comprising the art director's original storyboard oils set to the musical score and designed to assist director Michael Powell to shoot the famous sequence is also included as a Special Feature.
