Anecdotes
Reportedly, the film's director Ken Russell walked out of a revival screening of this movie saying: "What idiot made this?".

Gaffes
The intertitles in the silent film recreations always include who's speaking. This was never done. Additionally, the Algerian font is incorrect. Most silents either used Pastel or were hand-lettered.

Commentaire à la une

One of the most erotic, genuinely honest portrayals I've seen!

I was fortunate enough to have caught the last 2 hours! This film was engrossing from the time I tuned in, until it ended.

His (Nureyev's) portrayal is timeless. The dance scenes are spellbinding. I've wanted to dance - only to pursue other career choices. His subtleties leave you wanting more.

I was very moved by his performance. Michelle Phillips' performance ranks with some of the 'BEST' work seen from her! She deftly embodies a woman who will do whatever it takes to be with and support the man she loves! A rarity these days, she makes it look simple and exudes the on-screen confidence to do just that! Kudos, Michelle!

I was deeply disturbed to learn that he (Nureyev) had died of AIDS. This disease is an equal opportunity destroyer. Just think of what he might have accomplished had he lived...

Nureyev brings passion, delight, and a wide range of emotions to his performance - and should be delighted to know that his work in this piece is truly appreciated!

I am now searching for an unedited copy of the film for my archives.
