Scott and Fran in Strictly Ballroom

This portrait was shot by stills photographer Philip Le Masurier during the climactic scene of Strictly Ballroom (Baz Luhrmann, Australia, 1992) set at the Pan Pacific Grand Prix dancing championships.

In the scene, Scott and Fran cast aside old dance rules and their personal fears to perform a stirring paso doble.

The tuxedo-and-glitter Cinderella story ends with the couple triumphant in dance and in love, embodying the film's most important message: 'A life lived in fear is a life half lived'.
