The Nutcracker
Running 1h 39m and made in United Kingdom, The Nutcracker (1985) is a TV Movie and Family film in the 123movies catalog. The cast includes Lesley Collier and Anthony Dowell; John Vernon directs. 4 votes put it at 6/10. Sir Peter Wright’s 1984 version of The Nutcracker for The Royal Ballet, still performed by the Company, stays close to Hoffmann’s original tale. It emphasises Drosselmeyer’s mission to find a young girl – Clara – who can break the curse imposed by the Mouse King on his nephew Hans Peter and thus restore him to human form. References to Nuremberg and German Christmas traditions are present in the settings, with a kingdom of marzipan featured in Act 2.
