The Red Danube

1949

Starring
Walter Pidgeon
Angela Lansbury
Peter Lawford

In occupied post-war Vienna,
people are being returned to Russia against their will.

Janet plays a Russian prima ballerina and had to learn rudimentary ballet steps
permanently damaging her knee in the process.
At this stage of her career she was a popular choice
on the covers of movie magazines which
often were photographed many months in advance.
She would have photos taken in fur coat and scarf in June
and by the pool in a bikini in mid-winter.
What a glamorous life these actors lead.
