==comment==I remember the first time I "stumbled" upon this movie on television. I knew nothing about the story and I was transfixed. It is available on a Criterion DVD. Here is their description:
A glorious Technicolor epic that influenced generations of filmmakers, artists, and aspiring ballerinas, The Red Shoes intricately weaves backstage life with the thrill of performance. A young ballerina (Moira Shearer) is torn between two forces: the composer who loves her (Marius Goring), and the impresario determined to fashion her into a great dancer (Anton Walbrook).
One of the special features on the DVD is a look at Martin Scorsese's collection of Red Shoes memorabilia. Who knew?
For anyone playing this game who hasn't seen this movie...add it to your "must see" list.
