RED SHOES

Original 9 7/8 inch x 7 7/8 inch Still of ANTON WALBROOK, French couturier JACQUES FATH, MOIRA SHEARER, MICHAEL POWELL & EMERIC PRESSBURGER inspecting some of Fath’s sketches of ballerina costumes for the 1948 Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger Musical Drama THE RED SHOES, based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen.

One of Powell and Pressburger’s best-loved films, The Red Shoes, is perhaps the definitive ballet movie. The film interweaves the story of an ambitious young ballerina, Vicky (Shearer), with that of The Red Shoes ballet which forms its centrepiece – the most dazzling flight of fantasy in Powell’s career, and scarcely matched in British cinema.

The still is in very good condition with a credit list and brief synopsis tacked to the reverse.
