The Sorcerer's Apprentice (1955) is a short film made by Michael Powell for Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) West German television.
It is the 1797
Frankfurt Opera with Sonia Arova
as the solo dancer. There are other character dancers appearing as various items and creatures and of course the Sorcerer himself. But none of these are named on the credits and nobody has managed to find out who they were, as yet. The English-language narrator is also uncredited.
Production
The original apparently ran for about 30 minutes. But the only version that seems to exist is this 13-minute version. There are probably many small cuts rather than any big ones because the bulk of the story appears to be there although some of the cutting seems choppy.
Michael Powell was hired to direct it for his old friend Hein Heckroth. Heckroth had already done the design and set everything up so Powell appears to have had little input.
