This original The Red Shoes film has quite potential for a remake, and I have not seen the remake of it yet. This classic has three main characters--a young female dancer/ballerina (actress Moira Shearer) and a young male composer (actor Marius Goring), both working for the same boss (actor Anton Walbrook) who gives them an opportunity and later turns into a monster. The Red Shoes music score could have been better--it is a bit aggravating, even though it is suppose to reveal the endless dancing of the red ballerina shoes. The ballerina's dancing in The Red Shoes scenery could have been more multicultural--going through Asia, Latin America, etc., it seemed that the only exotic place was Australia's dream world land of the aborigines that she danced through, though this may have been unintended. Overall, it is a most excellent story based on a Hans C. Anderson tale. Several remakes could be made of The Red Shoes.
