This beautiful, deeply moving British film is a complex, romantic tragedy about the power struggles in an international ballet company run by an imperious, Diaghilev-like impresario (Anton Walbrook) whose new ballerina is the entrancing Moira Shearer. Shot in glowing Technicolor by Jack Cardiff in 1948, it was a beacon of light in the postwar Age of Austerity and is one of the greatest pictures by one of the greatest of all film-making teams.
