About This Movie
The Nutcracker (1958) is a fantasy and music TV movie that showcases Tchaikovsky's beloved ballet. Directed by George Balanchine, this production features a performance by the New York City Ballet, making it a standout piece in holiday entertainment.
This production is part of the Playhouse 90 anthology, which gives it a certain historical weight among collectors. It's not something you stumble across often, making it a rare find for ballet enthusiasts and vintage TV collectors alike. The scarcity of formats—given it was primarily broadcast television—also adds to its allure. If you happen to find a copy, it's a nice piece to showcase the intersection of television and performing arts in the late 1950s.
