A 2005 Documentary Film Directed by Tony Palmer.
The life and tribulations of world renown ballerina Margot Fonteyn as told by herself, friends and fellow dancers. The film goes through her entire life and how she got into dance, her triumphant debut in America after the war, her marriage to Roberto "Tito" Arias, her partnership with Nureyev, and her very late retirement.
It is a story of courage and tenacity, of unbelievable devotion – to her art and to those whom she loved who, in the end, left her penniless and alone, even to the extent that she was buried at first in a pauper’s grave.
Ballets featured Romeo & Juliet, Swan Lake, Giselle, Sleeping Beauty, Marguerite & Armand & The Nutcracker.
Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyev, Frederick Ashton, Robert Helpmann, Ninette de Valois, Roland Petit, Monica Mason, Lynn Seymour, Antoinette Sibley, Anthony Dowell & Beryl Grey
