BLACK TIGHTS (film w/ Zizi Jeanmaire and Cyd Charisse)

A very unusual film in that it has four complete ballets by Roland Petit. Two feature his wife, the incredible Zizi Jeanmaire, and one with Cyd Charisse, and the other starring Moira Shearer. Narrated by Maurice Chevalier. It's a wonderful snapshot into Petit's very specific French style, but also these three ballerinas in the twilight of their dancing careers.
