Hans Christian Andersen et la danseuse (1952)
Le savetier Andersen fascine les enfants de son village en leur racontant des contes magnifiques. A son écoute, les petits en oublient presque de se rendre à l'école. Semoncé par le maire, Andersen part pour Copenhague avec son commis, Peter. Il y devient le fournisseur en chaussons de Dora, une danseuse étoile. Il tombe amoureux de l'artiste, qui est mariée au maître de ballet, et lui écrit un conte de fées, «La Petite Sirène». Le conte deviendra un magnifique ballet. Mais, comprenant qu'il rêve d'un amour impossible, le savetier reprend le chemin de son village, où l'attendent les enfants.
