As someone with a partiality to red slippers :) I also enjoyed "The Red Shoes." I love Hans Christian Andersen. His stories are often moral tales that are quite thought provoking. And marrying that into the loving hands of Powell and Pressburger makes for cinema magic.toto2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09652682900471649463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-639690819534274502009-09-25T16:16:58.287-04:002009-09-25T16:16:58.287-04:00Paul, I get MGM HD on DTV--I will look for The Red...Paul, I get MGM HD on DTV--I will look for The Red Shoes.

All Powell & Pressberger movies appeal (even though TALES OF HOFFMAN wasn't my cup of tea). In the 1980s, my wife and I were members of a nonprofit film society and suggested holding a celebrity auction to raise money for the group's film rentals. We wrote Michael Powell, who sent an autobiographed paperback of THE RED SHOES...and the nicest personal letter about the importance of sharing one's love of the cinema (typed on his Archers stationery, no less). The paperback brought in a tidy sum during the auction. We kept the letter.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.com
