Moira Shearer, James Mason 1953

Another one that's best seen; no comments. Ms Shearer shares the spotlight with Rachmaninoff's "Rhaposdy On a Theme of Paganini." Handsome James Mason is her admirer. Elegant! Close-ups: Sin Igual!! Former Indigo 1045

@carmenchowable Thanks so much for your comment. You're correct that this story has a sad ending, but we're fortunate to see Ms. Shearer in one of her most elegant performances!

Such a stand out, firey red hair and eyes as big as texas, I looked up stuff about her tonight aug 12 2011, I thought she was of german decent with a name like schearer but she was actually scotish, and she died not real long ago 2006 so its within the last five years, she had such expressive danceing and real good technique comeing from and age where technique in ballet was not as refined as to day but, back then it was better since they could actually dance and were not just robots to the song

@manga12 Hi manga12! Very grateful for your wonderful comments, and how much you enjoyed this clip! She really was superb with that amazing hair, enormous eyes and unique talent. Several of the "close-ups" of her face, while dancing, might well be objets d'art of themselves. Cut to the chase, she'll always be a winner, and I'm so honored that you agree!

This is sublime!! Thank you so much. 

[varadero1839]

@janestahl You're very welcome! This is one of my favorite clips! In an odd way, it showcases both of their talents! The close-ups of Ms. Shearer, several in profile, should be blown-up, turned to stills, and entered in a contest for best cinematography! Sorry to be so over the top! Best wishes.

Laurence Olivier was better at being the charming protagonist.

James Mason owned at being a villain.

But they were both so HOT!!

This is from the movie The Story of Three Loves in which a young ballerina who has been forbidden to dance because of a heart condition dances one last time for a famous creator of ballets, and pays the ultimate price for it. The man never forgets here and she remains his ideal forever and only love!

@marcsouza2004 Realmente foi um filme insuperável, ainda mais com a brilhante participação de Moira Shearer e a música de Rachmaninoff. Rockybrazil1
