ebaldyga's rating
When I was 13 years old, I saw a lovely show on the television one afternoon about three young sisters who take ballet lessons from a formidable old Russian dance teacher. I remembered the name of the show, "Ballet Shoes" and the names of the sisters, Pauline, Petrova, and Posy. I tried over the years to find some reference to it, asking people once in a while if they'd ever heard of it, and searching the early Web one time in 1996 to no avail. The memory of this beautiful film haunted me until today, nearly 30 years later. When I decided to do a little Web searching this afternoon, the memory of this film popped up again and I thought, "Hey, why not try again."
This time as well, I wasn't finding much except one strange page that gave a bit of what seemed like script for what it billed as "Balley Shoes." And, a name - - Noel Streatfeild. Using the name, I searched and found that Ms. Streatfeild was, indeed, the author of "Ballet Shoes" but had a tough time finding a film reference. Then, I typed "Pauline, Petrova, and Posy" into Google and found what I was looking for! Of course, I should have known that it was a BBC production, because it was so beautifully done! So, I am thrilled to have found this and am ordering the film as a keepsake of the fruits of persistence. Thanks for reading my tale. Buy this film for yourself and/or for your children and enjoy!
