Dance Sequence with Moira Shearer from 'Peeping Tom' (Dir Michael Powell 1960) 

i agree!

@@JohnRaymondHall There just aren't many horror films that look like this either! It's so '50s Technicolor, but in a way that really adds to the experience.

i guess the upshot was The Red Shoes was good publicity in the USA for tours by the company. and Fonteyn's performance on that first night in NY established her unquestionably as the star of the company

De Valois

yes, exactly - impossible for Shearer not to have been alert to her danger all through - doesn't work dramatically at all - laughably implausible. Michael Powell of course also made The Red Shoes. Martin Scorsese is interesting about the film in this interview ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7GItFNbLVCs.html - not seeing what we are talking about as a problem

This is the 1950es, obviously.

Pps, big Broadcast.

@@mariannestoffers5067 yes, she appeared in movies mostly in the 1950s but then in the following decade and later: 'Peeping Tom' in 1960, 'Black Tights' in 1961 and finally 'A Simple Man' in 1987

Such a classic scene! Dramatically, it may not hold up today, but there's a scene in Marks' original script between Mark and Viv setting up this one, which was cut from the final film. Amazing that you were Shearer's partner, what was that like, may I ask? Such a shame this film affected Powell and Boehm's careers so badly, but conversely it arguably spawned the slasher subgenre
