Short Review

I'm imagining this is good, but, really I'm dropping a note here to send you to "The Margot Fonteyn Story" (1989) which is TV documentary* about the elegant Margot Fonteyn, waxing poetically about not just her life as a dancer, but about her time being thrown into jail because her husband (Roberto Arias) was involved in a coup in Panama. Her husband was eventually paralyzed due to an attempted assassination due to his politics, and there are very awkward (yet truthful) moments where you get a glimpse at Fonteyn caring for her mostly immobile, once powerful, husband.*I found "The Margot Fonteyn Story" (1989) as "Margot Fonteyn, documentary" on Youtube
