The successful impresario Boris Lermontov (Anton Walbrook) gives an opportunity in the Lermontov Opera to the talented young composer and conductor Julian Craster (Marius Goring) and to the gorgeous red-haired ballerina Victoria "Vicky" Page (Moira Shearer), whose greatest passion is to dance. Sooner Vicky becomes the lead dancer of his company and a sensation in Europe. Craster composes the ballet "The Red Shoes" based on the fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen and Vicky falls in love with him. The jealous Lermontov sends Craster away and Vicky decides to leave the company and marry Craster. However, when Lermontov meets Vicky one year later, he offers the position of lead ballerina in his ballet back to her; the youth feels divided between her passion for dancing and her love for Craster, leading her to a tragedy decision.
"The Red Shoes" is a magnificent work of art and one of the most beautiful features I have ever seen. The story of the ballerina Vicky, a woman that can not live without dancing and is pressed by her beloved husband and by the manager of the ballet company to choose between her life of wife or ballerina, is heartbreaking. Moira Shearer is very beautiful and the color of the restored DVD released by Continental Distributor is fantastic. "The Red Shoes" deserves the awarded Oscar of Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Color, and Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture. My vote is nine.
