THE RED SHOES:
Despite the fact that director Michael Powell
and writer Emeric Pressburger completed The
Red Shoes 50 years ago, the movie still has
an impact. The two turned the Hans Christian
Andersen fairy tale into a movie about a
ballerina (Moira Shearer) who has to choose
between the man she loves (Marius Goring) and
dancing for her pedantic impresario (Anton
Walbrook). The movie that resulted from this
story won Oscars for Hein Heckroth's
production design and Brian Easdale's score.
The Red Shoes is reportedly one of the
highest grossing British films ever, and it
made legions of girls want to be ballerinas.
Furthermore, the movie's dance sequence
inspired Gene Kelly to make An American in
Paris, and its themes have influenced a
variety of artists from Martin Scorsese to
musician Kate Bush. Nathan Lane even makes an
amusing reference to it in The Birdcage.
If being a movie star seemed unappealing to
her, Shearer was also bothered by some of the
film's content. She laments, "Michael Powell
was obviously very keen about the ballet in
an overall way, but he didn't know anything
about it at all. He had these sort of
grandiose, filmic ideas of putting every sort
of eccentricity into every character and
having everything going on at once,
presumably to make a particular kind of
impression on the screen.
"He had Léonide Massine (the real-life
dancer-choreographer, who played the
choreographer in the film) behaving like a
mad jumping bean. Massine was wonderfully
dignified and distinguished in life. I
thought it was a travesty of what a ballet
master should be like."
If the movie presents a distorted view of
ballet, it does feature a dazzling 15-minute
sequence that combines the dancers' artistry
with eye-popping special effects. One
particularly enchanting moment is when
Shearer dances with a newspaper that morphs
into a man. Cardiff played a crucial part in
these scenes. "I really went to town on that
film," he says. "I made several tests on my
own with a couple of dancers. I organized a
special motor, which could change speed
considerably during the dance. I was able to
slow down a dancer's leap in the air at his
highest point so he seemed to linger before
descending. For the paper sequence, I could
change the speed from 24 frames per second to
four frames, so the dancer could go into a
whirl of speed as he dissolved (back into) a
newspaper."
If the dancing scenes are breathtaking to
watch, they were nightmarish to film. Shearer
says, "Sometimes we would be jumping, and
(Powellwould) shout 'cut' when we were in the
air. Down one came." Cardiff has similar
recollections. "The dancers' toughest problem
was the studio floor, which had a concrete
base. It was completely different from the
wooden stage, and dancing was quite painful."
While making The Red Shoes was frustrating
for Shearer, she is happy to have introduced
millions to ballet. Ninette de Valois, who
ran the Sadler's Wells company, pushed
Shearer into making the film. Shearer
recalls, "She knew, which I didn't at the
time, that we were all set to come over at
the Old Met. She knew the film would come out
a year before and might make a bit of a stir.
It would be good publicity for the company.
Wise old bird really, she was right."
