Plot Outline: A biography of the dancer Isadora Duncan, the 1920s dancer who forever changed peoples ideas of ballet…
Plot: A biography of the dancer Isadora Duncan, the 1920s dancer who forever changed peoples ideas of ballet. Her nude, semi-nude, and pro-Soviet dance projects as well as her attitudes on free love, debt, dress, and lifestyle shocked the public of her time.
Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
Scenes which appear to place a dinosaur in jeopardy were simulated. No dinosaur was injured, harmed or mistreated in the making of this motion picture.
Goofs: We know about 4 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Factual errors: The dinosaurs are severely inaccurate. The T. Rexs arms are too big and have three fingers and Summerlee identifies a certain dinosaur as a Brontosaurus early on in the movie, but no such creature existed, also, if it did, it would not have spikes on its tail like a Stegosaurus.
Trivia: There are 3 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- Vanessa Redgrave trained for six months in order to imitate Isadora Duncans dancing style in the film.
- When filming “the Russian dance sequence” in a theater filled with unsuspecting extras, Vanessa Redgrave duplicated a real-life incident in the life of Isadora Duncan by ripping off the top of her dress and dancing bare-breasted. The extras were not told that she would do this, thus providing the desired audience-aghast reaction shots that director Karel Reisz wanted.
- Last film of Robert Ayres.
