Ballerina (1937) DVD-R
Starring Yvette Chauviré, Mia Slavenska, André Pernet, Jeanine Charrat, France Ellys
Directed by Jean Benoît-Lévy
Print: black/white
Runtime: 100 min.
Genre: drama
As the title would suggest, La Mort du Cygne (The Death of the Swan) is set in the high art world of ballet. In fact, it is the first full length motion picture set in this world. It is about a young dance student, Rose Souris, who nourishes an impassioned admiration for a star of the ballet, Miss Beaupre, and consequently will do anything to help her further herself. It follows that, when rival ballerina, the Russian Nathalie Karine, lands a much-coveted role, that Beaupre would then arrange an accident. Rose comes to regret her rash behavior when it appears as though Karine will never be able to dance again. Called "Ballerina" internationally, La Mort du Cygne was remade by MGM as The Unfinished Dance (1947).
