"...The screenplay was written by Edward Albee directed by Tony Richardson and star Rudolph Nureyev as Vaslav. Claude Jade as Romola and Paul Scofield as Diagilev..."

I wasn't really expecting much, since I had never heard of the film before, and so I was honestly surprised to find that it was such a good film. It's as good a film biography as the best of them, in my opinion, blessed with wonderful performances, plus it has a FASCINATING story, which takes it up a notch from there. (In fact, it had made ...
