...very much. Russell should try fishing around for a solid script next time. Rudolf Nureyev is the subject for Russell's current experiment, and the results are no cause for pride. Admittedly, Nureyev took on a task more daunting then Daltrey's. While the rock star merely had to portray a deaf, dumb and blind parody of himself in a rock opera that his group had created. Nureyev was asked to bring to life one of the all-time classic leading men in cinema history, a giant of an era that the ballet virtuoso never knew. The role demands...
Valentino. Ken Russell's latest turkey can be credited for furnishing an appealing showcase for Rudolf Nureyev's breathtaking prowess on an empty dance floor, but compliments come to an abrupt halt there. We see all the glamor and fame that filled the title character's moment in the spotlight, but Nureyev's Valention remains a distant figure, a romantic anachronism bursting forth with panache and charisma and little else.

But, under closer observance the officials began to smell a rat. The guy claimed to have danced with Nureyev, run a 9.3 hundred and played in the New York Philharmonic. He said he had gotten all 800s on every test. It's funny the straw that broke the camel's back was his claim that he was an All-American soccer player. "There was just too many things...
Lord Snowdon would prefer to be known as a photographer rather than as the man who had such a tough go of it with Princess Margaret. Over the years, Rudolf Nureyev has been one of his most fascinating subjects, so when Gentlemen's Quarterly asked him to photograph Nureyev on the set of Valentino, Snowdon enthusiastically complied. Recalls Nureyev: "For three days of filming he followed us, from the makeup session at 6 a.m. until the end of the shooting. He virtually sank into the background with the technicians and cameramen." More to Snowdon's liking, it seems...
