The stolen image

the long version

Alexei Baran is the notoriously difficult, publicity-shy star of the Imperial Ballet. On the strength of her previous pictures of him, Anna, a photographer, is asked to portray the ballet company at work. Almost in self-defense she becomes engaged to James Farmer, but this proves to be no protection at all against falling in love with Baran. But when he discovers how she has used his captured image, Alexei is determined that she should steal no more of him.
