A high spot for Vanessa Redgrave in the 1960s a story that follows the life of the free spirited modern interpretive dancer Isadora Duncan. From Dan Pavlides at Allmovie: Trained in classical dance Duncan shattered the traditional conformities in her art and her personal life.

Two of her children drowned when her chauffeur left the car unattended and the vehicle plunged into a river.

Redgrave was nominated for an Oscar for her performance. The film's locales are international and range from California to Europe and the Soviet Union.
