BackgroundThe Red Shoes(1948, UK) is a beautiful and sensitive post-war film - the 10th collaboration from the masterful and respected British directing/producing team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (who also scripted the original screenplay), who called themselves The Archers.[Although filmed in California""s San Fernando Valley, its setting appears to be Bronte""s somber, native "wuthering" (stormy) Yorkshire moors.Strange beings making contortions, moon inhabitants (Selenites - acrobats from the Folies Bergere), emerge from under the mushrooms.Edmund Pevensie (Skandar Keynes) failed in his attempt to join the army due to his young age.He was frustrated for being called a "squirt" (he boasted: "I""m a king.I""ve fought wars and I""ve led armies").Edmund and Lucy Pevensie (Georgie Henley) had been residing with "wretched" cousin Eustace Scrubb (Will Poulter) for 253 days in Cambridge, hosted by their Uncle Harold and Aunt Alberta.
