Details from “The Red Shoes Ballet. A Critical Study”, first edition (Saturn Press, 1948), presented by Powell and Pressburger.
This is a study of the famous film “The Red Shoes” made in 1948 by the successful duo Powell and Pressburger. The film was born out of a Pressburger script commissioned by Alexander Korda for his wife Merle Oberon to star in the main role with her dancing performed by a double. The duo then bought the script back from Korda and made an extraordinary tale of romance and artistic obsession using real ballet stars alongside actors of the day.
Moira Shearer, Leonide Massine, Robert Helpmann and Ludmilla Teherina from the world of ballet joined Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring and Esmond Knight to make a memorable film.
This book is a presentation copy inscribed by both Powell and Pressburger on the half-title page: “February 26 1949. To Kai Berg Madsen, it’s a matter of life and death. Michael Powell”, and “To Kai Berg Madsen from Emeric Pressburger.”
The reference to “a matter of life and death” relates to an earlier Powell and Pressburger film of that name, made in 1946. It, too, was an enormous success. It starred David Niven, Kim Hunter, Roger Livesey, Raymond Massey, Richard Attenborough and (again) Marius Goring. It was called “Stairway to Heaven” in the United States.

Ah!! Finally started classes and because of that I haven’t enough time to draw :(! But today I spent a fast hour to draw a fanart of the webcomic “A Matter of life and death”. This webcomic is a recommendation of my students and it’s definitely beautiful! I’m super in love with the characters!!!

Iron Maiden, 1980.
Wait, was that in the first season? It wasn’t black and white, was it? I canNOT imagine I would have missed what looks very much like an homage to one of my favorite incredibly weird and creepy old movies.
(Maybe this is old hat and I’ve just forgotten? Either way it makes me happy.)
