There is a frequent complaint that comes up by viewers as to why, in the final sequence, Vicky is wearing the red ballet shoes backstage when the story/ballet opens with her in a different pair of shoes. Vicky's dresser is clearly seen carrying the white/pale pink shoes that she wears in the beginning and is ready to give them to Vicky to change into, when she has her final 'impulse' to run out to the balcony. (She probably was just checking, or breaking in, the shoes in the first place, but the symbolism of the red shoes controlling her life wouldn't translate if she wasn't seen wearing them.) In his autobiography, Michael Powell recalled that Emeric Pressburger complained about this discrepancy while they were writing the screenplay. Powell stated, "I was a director, a storyteller, and I knew that she must. I didn't try to explain it. I just did it."
