The Tales of Hoffmann, the 1951 Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger English dance ballet opera romantic fantasy adventure musical (based on the opera by Jacques Offenbach, which in turn is based on the short stories by E.T.A. Hoffmann) starring Moira Shearer, Robert Helpmann, Leonide Massine, Robert Rounseville (in the title role as Hoffmann), Ludmilla Tcherina (billed as "Presenting Ludmilla Tcherina"), and Sir Thomas Beecham and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Note that this movie includes scenes of a fantasy island, and it was too costly to create such a set, so those scenes were done with the judicious use of matte paintings of the island!
