Show notes

We're back with directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (AKA "The Archers") for one of their all-time biggest pictures. This time they rework and update a Hans Christian Andersen folk tale into a romance chronicling the ascending fame of a celebrated ballerina and the men competing for her love and success. And, as promised, the shoes are REALLY red. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing William Wyler's The Heiress (1949).
