I noticed this dvd also - I clicked on the title for more info and just saw "Ann Marie Duff" listed beside the title. I believe that this is the British tv film which was shown in the UK last November. The title does suggest a wonderful idea for a documentary though.

Goro, the UK Amazon lists a lot of product info. The US Amazon doesn't give any info, except the blurb "Margot and the Royal Ballet: Ann Marie Duff" - quite silly on Amazon's part to not have additional info.

Does anyone know more about this dvd that has appeared on Amazon: "Margot & Royal Ballet"? This item will be released on July 6, 2010.

There was a discussion on the film last year in the topic, " New BBC Fonteyn movie "Margot". There are a wide number of comments to read.

Here's the info we've been looking for. It's the recent TV biopic, plus Fonteyn dancing the second act of Swan Lake, The Firebird and Ondine. If I'm not mistaken this Royal Ballet film hasn't been available on DVD in the U.S until now.

At age 40, Dame Margot Fonteyn (Anne-Marie Duff – The Virgin Queen, Shameless) was one of the greatest ballerinas of the 20th Century. At her creative peak, she was a woman torn between her loyalties to the Royal Ballet and her marriage to unfaithful Panamanian diplomat, Roberto de Arias (Con O’Neill – Criminal Justice). Under mounting pressure to retire, Margot’s unexpected pairing with young Russian émigré Rudolph Nureyev (Michiel Huisman – The Young Victoria) caused a global sensation and created one of the most enduring and stunning ballet partnerships of all time. Also starring Lindsay Duncan (Alice in Wonderland), Derek Jacobi (Endgame) and Penelope Wilton (Pride & Prejudice), Margot is a timeless tale of love, performance, passion and self-sacrifice.

BONUS PROGRAM: The Royal Ballet

Margot Fonteyn and Michael Somes dance scenes from the ballets, Swan Lake, Firebird and Ondine.
