Blu-Ray Disc

The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

The final entry in Michael Powell's famous cycle of ballet films, this rarely-seen English/Spanish co-production reunites Powell with alumni from both The Red Shoes and Oh... Rosalinda!!, with Ludmilla Tcherina and Leonide Massine starring alongside world-renowned Flamenco dancer Antonio and English leading man Anthony Steel.

Featuring breathtakingly beautiful imagery of Spain, shot in Technicolor and Technirama by Oscar-winning cinematographer Georges Perinal, and ballet scores conducted by Sir Thomas Beecham, the film was released in Europe in 1959 as Luna de Miel and in Britain three years later as Honeymoon. It is presented here as a brand-new transfer from original film elements in its original theatrical aspect ratio.

Kit and Anna, a rich and happy couple, are touring sunny Spain in an open-top Bentley on their fabulous honeymoon. But Anna is a prima ballerina who has forgone her career for marriage – a situation that the fiery Spanish dancer Antonio finds intolerable!
