I suppose there's no way I was going to miss a ballet film, no matter how lukewarm the reviews - but sadly The White Crow really is just a plodding bio-pic. Quite an achievement to make the thrilling Cold War story of Nureyev's defection so very ... flat.

    How very sad - I recall the occasion, I was totally shocked by it!

    I don't remember anything in the news before 1963 - which was an eventful year!
    The film is okay, Toffeeapple - but I could have saved my £9 and waited for the DVD!
