Technicolor. Hans Christian Andersen's tale is just the starting point for this imaginative and moving classic- a landmark in the histories of both dance and cinema. An ambitious and obsessive dancer (the luminous Moira Shearer) falls under the spell of a tyrannical impresario (Anton Walbrook) and soon must choose between ballet and life. The intertwining of art and life is vividly expressed in every aspect of this beloved production, particularly Jack Cardiff's rich Technicolor cinematography. 35mm restored print courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive. Restoration funding provided by The Film Foundation & Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
