Description:
Margot Fonteyn was the greatest dancer England has ever produced. In her life she transcended the world of dance and became a tabloid darling second to none, a true celebrity. And when, already in her forties, Fonteyn teamed up with Rudolf Nureyev, their astonishing union created one of the most brilliant and magical partnerships in all of ballet history. Their artistic and sexual chemistry electrified all those who were lucky enough to watch them perform.
But her remarkable talent and façade of fastidious primness masked a dark torrent within. Fonteyn’s life was the stuff of unimaginable fiction: taken as an underage mistress; married to a Panamanian Ambassador; involved in an attempted coup; the lover of innumerable, often homosexual, public figures; a cultural icon of the swinging sixties; betrayed by her husband’s family, and, above all, a dancer of extraordinary physical eloquence and purity – all culminating in this fragile beauty dying a penniless, lonely recluse.
This gripping film uncovers a mountain of archive footage, including memorable performances with Nureyev, and meetings with those who danced with her, knew her, and loved her.

An amazing insight into the life of a fabulous woman and ballerina, she was. What shame she died in the circumstances that she did. I always treasure the chance, I had to see her dance here in Australia.
This is a must for every Balletomains' collection.

Palmer's long but well-balanced and consistently absorbing documentary is one of the more striking examples of the dichotomy of celebrity, with great public acclaim set against a private life of mostly contained misery. Clearly Dame Margot was a woman of remarkable beauty, drive and talent. Yet not bad luck but a blind spot deep in her character would leave her broke and isolated at the end of her illustrious career, tethered to a man who did not merit her devotion. Palmer's film is a piercingly ... Read More

Dedicated to her profession, diligent in her study and devoted to her beliefs in family and commitments...this movie details the life of Margot Fonteyn with the same passion and feeling that Fonteyn exhibited in her dance. Wonderful film clips, photographs and well-researched history of a beautiful and sometimes controversial dancer, whose life was as facinating as the characters she portrayed. This film documents both sides of the professional dancer...the glory of fame, the physical and mental ... Read More

This is an excellent film on the life of Margot Fonteyn. I liked the fact that they were able to use so much footage of her dancing. This enables the many people who were never able to see her dance understand her grace, beauty, technique, and spirit. How wonderful to be able to see Margot and Rudolph together. This was a once in a life time partnership. This is a great film for ballet enthusiaist, but also very entertaining on a celebrity level.

Excellent - well edited, interesting interviews and balanced view on a famous ballet relationship. Interesting footage not always seen by the public.
