hi Buondelmonte123 - thanks for that - curiously i don't remember Patricia Miller from the sadler's wells - but i was a kid - must google her. cheers!
hi ede727 - it looks exactly like donald mcleary! curiously the kenneth macmillan website says david poole for the film - they got it wrong! i've commented on your channel with the website URL as URL's are rejected in replies to comments for some reason, cheers, nick
hi ai51inn - i thought so - she was mc millan's muse from the beginning and logical she'd be filmed in this early work - thanks for heliping here, appreciated
@ai51inn No you idiot it is NOT LYNN Seymour get it? LYNN Seymour. This was filmed in 1955 Macmillan started working with Seymour in 1958 with The Burrow. The ballerina here is ANNETTE PAGE. If you must talk with such bogus authority, perhaps it would be better if you just kept your mouth shut and your opinions to yourself? Okay. We're done here.
@kimmois1 - As I said "I think it is Lynne Seymour" - thanks for correction. As for keeping my mouth shut and opinions to myself.........well....I was discussing this with Nick, not you! Your tone is thoroughly disagreeable I might add!
@ai51inn NO NO NO it's not LYNNE it's LYNN there's no E on the end of LYNN. Why must you do this to me? Are you deliberately trying to hurt me? This is incredibly passive aggressive. Yes, you may voice your opinions, but you're trying to pass off conjecture and guessing as authoratative knowledge which is deeply upsetting to me. Now, I'll accept your apology and we'll move on. Peace.
@kimmois1 Oh yes you're quite right! No "e" - it is Lynn! Groan, groan. Oh, and thanks for giving me permission to voice my opinions on Nick's channel! Peace.
@ai51inn That's quite alright and thank YOU for thanking me and for your admission of ignorance, it means a great deal when people are mature enough to admit when they're in the wrong. You're a real adult and now we'll be happy friends. Peace xxx
hi kimmois1 - thanks very much for identifying the dancers - i'm pretty hopeless at recognising dancers in film, even if i've seen them live a number of times - and i've added your ID's to the text accompanying the film. thanks again!
If its any consolation this version of the ballet premiered on my 7th birthday.

I think the lady is Patricia Miller, a stalwart of the Sadler's Wells Theatre Ballet in those days.

@nickwallacesmith I suspect she was a bit before your time.

hi Buondelmonte123 - yes, you're right - in 1955 the sand pit at kindergarten was my chief interest! cheers
