George Balanchine's definitive version of The Nutcracker, danced by the New York City Ballet, was released nationwide as a feature film that became an instant classic.
Joel Meyerowitz's photographs, taken during the film production, capture all its movement, elegance, and rich character; his text, a beautiful retelling of the famous story, is as timeless and magical as the ballet itself.
Includes a CD with musical highlights from the ballet.
