Synopsis

Meg (Margaret O'Brien), a young ballet student, idolizes the school's top ballerina, the shallow Ariane Bouchet (Cyd Charisse). Meg is distressed when she learns visiting prima ballerina Darina rather than Bouchet will play the lead in the school's production of "Swan Lake." So on opening night, Meg arranges an accident which nearly kills Darina (Karin Booth) and ends her dancing career. As a result, Bouchet becomes a star, while Meg is torn with guilt.

Awards: 1948: Locarno Film Festival: Best Color Cinematography
