Galina Belyayeva and James Fox star in this exquisitely beautiful film biography of the legendary prima ballerina Anna Pavlova. This special Western version of the epic Anglo-Russian production was written and directed by Michael Powell. From her humble childhood in pre-revolutionary St.

Petersburg, Anna Pavlova (Galina Belyayeva) dreamed of nothing but the ballet. Rising to stardom through the Imperial Ballet and the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev (Vsevolod Larionov), she became the toast of the Russian court and then all of Europe's aristocracy. But Pavlova dreamed of still more. Aided by her childhood friend Mikhail (Sergey Shakurov) and her husband and Impresario Victor D'Andre (James Fox), she would raise ballet to new heights, explore new methods of dance and take the beauty of her art to the furthest corners of the world... With breath-taking cinematography from locations around the world, "Pavolva: A Woman For All Time" also features some of the finest ballet sequences ever filmed - as performed by soloists from The State Academy of Theatre, Opera and Ballet and the Kirov and Bolshoi Ballet.

A young woman drowns in 1860. Although it was an accident her death was recorded as suicide, considered to be a mortal sin at the time. Consequently her spirit lives on in a state of torment. Over a century later Tess (Judith Allchurch), a teenager, experiences memories that aren't her own.

Playing himself, the incomparable Bob Hope reigns as top comic banana over one of the most star-studded casts ever assembled. Joining him are Bing Crosby, Gary Cooper, Alan Ladd, Barbara Stanwyck, and many, many more, in a comedy classic set amid the 'reality' of a Hollywood studio in the 1940s.

Starlet wannabe, Amber La Vonne is mistaken for her friend, the beautiful and talented Catherine Brown. While the zany Amber flubs her way from audition to screen test to stage debut, Catherine can't seem to keep her - head above water. Along the way, the madness stops only long enough for musical numbers by Pearl Bailey, Spike Jones and His City Slickers, The Mulcays, and a rare puppetoon version of 'Romeow and Juliacat'. Topped off by an A-list all star variety revue, this is one of the most madcap and hilarious comedies ever filmed.
