		Platt went back to the novel, which is "so vast and complex," he says, and found himself gravitating to the story of Elphaba and Glinda, and their surprising friendship.
		After watching his novel be developed into a film for two years, Maguire agreed to "take a left turn," as Platt put it, and pursue a tuner version.
		They must have liked it: Universal ponied up $10 million, with $4 million more to be evenly divided among Platt, Stone and two other producers new to the enterprise: the Araca Group and Jon B. Platt, no relation to Marc Platt.

	A majestic "Ballets Russes" - Silver Chips Online
		In their own words, the now elderly dancers share moving, humorous and insightful anecdotes about their time in the Ballets Russes.
		The dancers recall the close bonds formed within the troupe, the beneficial effects of their fame in the ballet and the artistic passion expressed throughout the group's work.
		Platt shares a hilarious story of how the troupe forcibly "Russianized" his last name to "Plattoff" to make him fit in more with the Russian dancers, while Krassovska gives a riotous account of her own wedding to a fellow dancer that ended with her veil in flames.

		The film focuses on the rivalry between Colonel Wasily de Basil’s Ballets Russes, and the breakaway troupe led by dancer and choreographer Leonide Massine.
		The film explores the careers of both Native American ballerinas Yvonne Chouteau and Maria Tallchief (the latter of whom became one of the greatest American dancers of the century), and also the thwarted career of the light-skinned African-American ballerina Raven Wilkinson, who danced on tours of the American south despite misgivings.
		My 90 year old former ballet dancer mother was thrilled with the film but disturbed over the emphasis on Tallchief with no mention of Alonso and Youskevitch, “a match made in heaven”.

		Marc Platt could not have expected to still be receiving standing ovations at age 91, but there he was Thursday night at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco's Kanbar Hall, leaning unsteadily on his cane as an elevator platform lifted him to the stage.
		Minutes earlier, his image as a star dancer with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo had bounded across the silver screen, the picture of youthful vigor.
		Meanwhile, Platt sat in a corner booth, regaling the film's assistant editors with tales of his stardom.

		During this U.S. tour the first Americans were added to the company and included dancer Marc Platt, who recalls being "Russianized" when they changed his name to Marc Platoff.
		The dancers were caught in the middle, forced to choose between the two companies and their temperamental founders.
		Poole's poignant reminiscences about a performance of Swan Lake reveal that all dancers, no matter what their status, took pride in being a member of the prestigious company.

		Ballet choreographed by Marc Platoff to a commissioned score by Richard Rodgers.

		Honey’s lifelong ambition is to become a professional dancer and choreographer.

		Back in the workaday world, Honey returns to what she knows best—the urban music she loves—and rediscovers her love of dancing though the exuberant energy of the neighborhood dancers who bring her back to the sheer joy of letting it all out.

		Adele Jergens is also great as the original dancer in the show that Kitty/Terpischore replaces.
		Not the best Columbia musical, but an off-beat film, and worth watching simply because of the dance sequences, color cinematography and Rita at her most enticing.
		In general, this film is funnier than its reputation, although it doesn´t add up to anything and the song score is tepid (with one delightfully weird number where Rita considers bigamy with Parks and dancer Marc Platt).

		It evolved through the strength of its first choreographer George Balanchine, who featured young girls as stars (Irina Baronova, Tamara Tchinerova, and Tatiana Riabouchinska, in which he created new works for his 'baby ballerinas').
		Balanchine's successor was the great dancer Leonid Massine (formerly Diaghilev's lover after his breakup with Nijinsky).
		After initial success Blum dropped out and left the company in the sole hands of his difficult to work with partner (Blum was imprisoned at the Auschwitz concentration camp and murdered by the Nazis in 1942).

		Though it may take non-ballerinas about an hour to get into this fantastic profile of one of the greatest dance companies in the world.
		Over the years these dancers performed in front of backdrops designed by artists ranging from Picasso to Matisse, and to original music composed by Stravinsky and Debussy.
		Amazingly, though the company was formed from the ranks of Russian emigres living in Europe, many of the younger dancers had never performed in or seen their native land.

		Directed with consummate invention and infused with juicy anecdotal interviews from many of the company’s glamorous stars, BALLETS RUSSES treats modern audiences to a rare glimpse of the singularly remarkable merger of Russian, American, European, and Latin American dancers, choreographers, composers, and designers that transformed the face of ballet for generations to come.

		Full-scale warfare explodes between the rival families, but so long as Alexander has his wits about him and a sword in his sheath, the audience can be assured that he'll straighten things out by the ninth reel.
		Famed dancer-choreographer Marc Platt is uncomfortably cast as a pugnacious member of the Glowan clan, moving one critic to postulate that Columbia must have had a grudge against Platt.
		The Swordsman was directed by Joseph H. Lewis, who'd previously helmed the production numbers in The Jolson Story.
