After Moira Shearer came to international attention for her first feature role as Victoria Page in this film, she was featured as a soloist and principal dancer in the Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet. During the company's North American tour in 1954, Shearer was featured as principal dancer in the full-length production of Frederick Ashton's "Félix Mendelssohn's - Shakespeare - Mid-Summer's Night Dream." The tour repertoire included the full-length Maurice Ravel ballet "Daphne and Chloé". Shearer retired from ballet in 1953 but continued to act, appearing as Titania in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the 1954 Edinburgh Festival. She worked again for Michael Powell in "I racconti di Hoffmann (1951)" and in the controversial "L'occhio che uccide (1960)," which damaged Powell's own career.
