This is only the second ballet film that I have ever watched,the other being Billy Elliott.
This was made for Ranks Children Cinema Clubs,which was the precursor of the Children's Film Foundation which came into being in 1951 as a result of the creation of the Eady levy.
This film has a marvelous cast. Young Anthony Newly is the leading male player. Martita Hunt is a teacher. Gilberts brother in law, Sidney Tafler is a stage doorman. That stalwart of John Baxter's films,George Carnet is there to give encouragement to Yvonne Marshall,the aspiring ballerina.
Also on view is Leslie Dwyer as an antique shop owner,plus Beatrice Barley and Elliot Markham. Worthy of an A feature.
