The most beautiful film ever made, a breathtaking technicolor marvel with Jack Cardiff's mesmerizing photography and the sensational Moira Shearer dancing on the cutting edge. A tribute to the artist who goes to extremes for their art, Powell and Pressberger's masterpiece is an absolute cinematic must-see.

Victoria leaves the company and marries Craster, but is still torn between the demands of Lermontov and those of her heart.
