Galina Ulanova, between scenes candid publicity shot as Giselle

[rg]

scan of a publicity shot, presumably from 1956, related to Paul Czinner's filming of the Bolshoi Ballet's GISELLE, with Galina Ulanova in the title role, for THE BOLSHOI BALLET, released in 1957.

the photo's details aren't all easy to read but it seems that the moment caught by the photographer might be around the time of the mad scene of Act 1, as Ulanova's hair is seemingly unbound.

(the original caption that was glued to the back of the print got separated from the photo so all that remains of that is a yellowing stain from its glue.)
