...that hard to play. And when they brought the proposal to Producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, it took about five minutes to get a yes. The cast is filled with dancers from the American Ballet Theatre, of which Baryshnikov is artistic director. The lovely Italian-born ballerina Alessandra Ferri will dance the lead. Says Baryshnikov: "This picture gives me what may be my last chance to film a big classical ballet within a dramatic movie. And with a lovely cast and director too!"
