Feature films selected for the occasion - at home with the family - this week starring
Margaret O'Brien, Cyd Charisse, Karin Booth, Danny Thomas

A 10-year-old ballet student takes drastic steps to prevent a more experienced dancer taking the place of her favourite ballerina.
Margaret O'Brien, who won a special Academy Award as an outstanding child actress in 1944, gives a remarkably adult performance, and Cyd Charisse, who later became Fred Astaire's partner, shows her excellent Russian training in a series of ballet sequences including Sioan Lake and a specially choreographed version of David Rose's Holiday For Strings.

Norway has a small human population, living mainly along the coast, so the vast mountain plateaux and the dense forests of the interior are left to the wildlife: the reindeer, the beaver, the fox and the beautiful snowy owl. After the darkness of winter, every moment of the summer light must be used by the animals to rear their young to a state of independence, before the first snow falls and it is winter once again.
