Review by Library Journal Review

The tragic tale of a gifted ballerina (Moira Shearer) faced with a choice between her promising career and the man she loves boasts a breathtaking digital restoration of this 62-year-old classic. Extras include audio commentary by film historian Ian Christie, a "making of" featurette, an interview with director Powell's widow, Thelma Schoonmaker, and a gallery of publicity stills and behind-the-scenes photos.
