I first saw this in the cinema when it came out in 1971. I would have been about 8 years old and I never forgot it. Then Dad recorded it from the television and we played it till the tape wore out. Now we have the DVD. That is Alexander Grant dancing Pigling Bland - a wonderful dancer. He also appears in the black and white version of La Fille Mal Gardee as Alain the fool and again is absolutely amazing. There is a Sleeping Beauty film with Nureyev and Fonteyn in which he appears as the Bluebird - and the list goes on. He was an absolutely terrific dancer and one to watch out for.
This entire segment has haunted my memory for years. As soon as i saw pigling bland on his toes i had vivid flashbacks to seeing this as a kid
then it did its job :D
Gracias por subir los films! los veo desde el 2014 y no me canso de verlos todos los años! ^^
