M/S of three small girls in tutus, performing a simple ballet routine. At the finish they take off their ballet shoes; C/U as one girl examines the worn toe of her shoe.
In the shoemaking factory of Anello and Davide, we see various stages of the ballet shoemaking process; a man cuts out numerous leather soles on a machine; another man cuts out the uppers from some satin by hand. Various shots in a machine room where several women are sewing leather into shape on sewing machines.
A row of men work at a bench, putting several layers of fabric and hardening liquid over the end of the shoe to make the block toes. C/U of one of the men tweaking the fabric over the toe of the shoe to create the folds that are held in place by the leather sole. Another man at a special machine sews the sole on.
Various shots of a man turning nearly finished shoes right side out; he hammers the leather sole into position. A man at a sewing machine stitches a ribbon which encases the shoe cord around the edge of the shoe. M/S and C/U of Raimondo Davide, manger of the company, checking a pile of ballet shoes individually. He picks up a pink pair and stands them on their toes.
Note: the commentator refers to Raimondo as 'Anello Davide', but this is the name of the company (still going strong today). There is a press release on file about the company and it's history.

Interesting how at that point in time, they didn't seem to yet balance on their "own" to pass the final test!
My Father Rodney Freed who created The Turning Pointe 🩰could stand up on their own. We had a pair on a picture frame perfectly balanced to prove the pointe (pun intended)
Have to be cheap to buy😁
