The Red Shoes
The Red Shoes
Drama Ballet impresario Boris Lermontov considers talented young dancer Victoria Page as a potential prima ballerina. To test this promise, he casts Vicky as the lead in a new ballet called The Red Shoes and asks Julian Craster to compose the score. At first, Vicky and Julian clash but they eventually fall in love, which creates friction with Lermontov. He demands absolute devotion from his dancers and Vicky is forced to choose between two dreams.
