I don't agree that Danilova wasn't pretty enough. She was certainly the best dancer - I think the film would have been better if it was her. Don't they employ people for the quality of their dancing?

One of the best half hours of ballet available on YouTube. How marvellous was Leonide Massine! - John Austin, Australia

my goodness! I did not even know of the existence of these jewels. Thanks JKirchner. Looking at this film I had a fantasy : I kept on imaginning this ballet staged with make-up and costumes inspired from paintings by E.L.Kirchner.

Erte,said in his autobiography,that the best years of his life,were the eight years he spent in Monte Carlo.

And they didn't film it with Danilova because they thought she wasn't pretty enough...

Thanks, fairylilac. Happy to hear that you like it. I had to do a lot of digging to locate this obscure little film.
