Plot Synopsis
Ballet company director Boris Lermontov, played by Anton Walbrook hires Julian Craster, played by Marius Goring to compose the score for his company's new ballet, an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Red Shoes. He also casts his new ingenue Victoria Page, played by Moira Shearer, who he is secretly in love with in the lead role. The ballet is a hit, and Victoria and Julian become stars. They have also fallen in love. Angry at discovering their relationship, Boris fires Victoria, effectively ending her dancing career. Some time later, after Victoria and Julian have married, Boris and Victoria have a chance encounter, and he asks her to perform "The Red Shoes" one more time. She agrees over Julian's objections, and her choice leads to tragedy.http://www.allmovie.com/work/the-red-shoes-40734Cast

Reviews
""A look beneath its lushly romantic surface reveals a dark, complex sensibility, and that surface, rendered in the somber tones of British Technicolor, reflects a fantastically rich cinematic inventiveness.""—Dave Kehr, The Chicago Readerhttp://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/the-red-shoes/Film?oid=1068705""One of the great ballet melodramas of all time.""—Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviewshttp://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1017346-red_shoes/
