'The Red Shoes' was written and directed by two Brits (one of whom was also 

Hungarian).  It featured a cast of at least four nationalities, none of 

them American (at least, there were no Americans in any of the leading 

parts), and the principal crew were also predominately British, with the 

sole exception of a German production designer.  It was produced entirely 

with British money and the rights are now owned by a French 

company.  Therefore I'm slightly puzzled by your description of 'The Red 

Shoes' as a 'Hollywood representation'.
