Description: Vintage original 7.5 x 9.5 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the 1960s Technicolor roadshow musical dramatic biopic, ISADORA, released in 1968 by Universal Pictures and directed by Karel Reisz. A biography of the 1920s dancer, Isadora Duncan, who forever changed people's ideas of ballet. Her nude, semi-nude, and pro-Soviet dance projects, as well as her attitude and lifestyle shocked, the public of her time. "Filmed in England and on the Continent,..." (as per the printed caption on the verso), the image depicts dancer Isadora Duncan (Vanessa Redgrave) as she relaxes on a beach in Nice, France It is in very fine condition as shown. Redgrave was nominated for the "Best Actress in a Leading Role" Academy Award for her performance. She trained for six months in order to imitate Isadora Duncan's dancing style in the film. When filming "the Russian dance sequence" in a theater filled with unsuspecting extras, Redgrave duplicated a real-life incident in the life of Isadora Duncan by ripping-off the top of her dress and dancing bare-breasted. The extras were not told that she would do this, thus providing the desired audience-aghast reaction shots that director Karel Reisz wanted. Isadora was selected to screen in competition for the prestigious Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) Award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1969, where the won the "Best Actress" Award for Vanessa Redgrave for playing Isadora Duncan.
