A good children's film featuring Danny Kay as a beloved Danish writer. The film gives a detailed account of how Andersen became an up-and-coming writer in an acceptable way of imagination. The film begins when Kay is asked to leave town. He is a shoemaker in the town. He likes to tell stories to children, so that children are fascinated by stories and don't want to go to school. Producer Godwin has always been fascinated by the Biography of Hans Christian Andersen. For fifteen years he kept announcing that he was going to make the film, but he was repeatedly turned down (Gary Cooper had been chosen as the leading actor). Godwin paid a high price to find someone to write sixteen plays, picked out one he liked, and asked Kai to perform for a fee of $175000. After Kai agreed, the film began to be filmed. As for the role of a ballerina, Godwin wants to cast British dancer Moira Shearer because she has just finished filming Mike Powell's Red Lingyan (1948). This story is also adapted from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales. Shearer agreed to act, but she had to quit because she was pregnant and was replaced by French dancer Renee Jeanne. The film costs $4 million, and a 17-minute ballet costs $400000.
