Fonteyn and Nureyev: The Perfect Partnership
(100 min; 1985; dvd; English)
Narrated by Robert Powell
The film traces Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev's partnership from its glorious inception in 1962 (in Giselle at Covent Garden), to its grand finale some 17 years later. It is unique that it includes rare, behind-the-scene footage of both dancers and includes film clips from Le Corsaire, Les Sylphides, and Romeo and Juliet
