Wiki.

The Man Who Loved Redheads is a 1955 British comedy film directed by Harold French and starring Moira Shearer, John Justin and Roland Culver. The film is written by Terence Rattigan based on his play Who Is Sylvia? (1950) which is reputedly a thinly veiled account of the author's philandering father. The film follows the play fairly closely, its main difference being the turning of Sylvia into a redhead.

The film contains a ballet sequence featuring extracts from The Sleeping Beauty, which was decorated by Loudon Sainthill.
