Duncan's first love affair was with Stage Designer Gordon Craig, whose electric presence is dimmed in the film to about 40 watts by James Fox. Her most celebrated amour was Paris Singer (Jason Robards), the sewing-machine heir.

Isadora had a child by each of her lovers; both children died in an absurd and macabre automobile accident in France. From then...

Like a saintly pilgrim, he sets off across Port Said harbor in a small boat, ferrying the coffin of the dead man whose estate he came to plunder, and then moves out to sea in search of an absolute emptiness in which to find himself...

...people to defend their lives and their freedom: a lecture on quality control techniques involved in the production of napalm is not, in the context of this country's policies abroad, absolutely entitled to protection against protesting students. But there are no courses being taught in Harvard College whose disruption would demonstrably serve the vital interests of the Vietnamese or of anyone else. This is not to say that the ideas expressed in many courses may not have repressive or destructive implications. The point is merely that these implications. The point is merely that these implications cannot be fought...
