He was actually quite good in Colonel Blimp, but I just kind of ignored him then. Here, in the Red Shoe, we finally saw what a character actor he really was. He just needed roles that allowed for his "foreign" accents.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-10719151658573712482014-07-19T06:38:28.492+03:002014-07-19T06:38:28.492+03:00I love this movie and am so glad you liked it, too...I love this movie and am so glad you liked it, too, TS. You're right, Anton Walbrook plays his role to the hilt. I'm not a fan of extended dance sequences in film, but this one really works well.Kimberly J.M.

This is a case where I'd like another 15 minutes of film to really sell the romance to me.<br /><br />That said, the Red Shoes ballet is truly spectacular. There's nothing really like it that I can think of.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-40269307469254628712014-07-11T02:57:17.407+03:002014-07-11T02:57:17.407+03:00I think The Red Shoes has the most beautiful Techn...I think The Red Shoes has the most beautiful Technicolor of any of the Powell and Pressburger movies.
