I came across these photos of Ludmilla Tchérina in The Tales of Hoffman while searching the LIFE Archive, and had to watch it.
She looks like something straight out of my imagination, or some perfect She-Ra villain, and it’s a Powell and Pressburger film like The Red Shoes (one of my all time faves). It wasn’t quite as good as The Red Shoes, but still an amazingly gorgeous film.

Such a fantastic look.

Her lair is so amazing. I love the coloured candles.
