For decades, Violette Verdy reigned as one of the most celebrated of all contemporary ballerinas and the preeminent ballet dancer among choreographer George Balanchine's protégés. In her retirement years, Verdy branched out into choreography herself and inducted numerous young hopefuls into the ballet arena. Dominique Delouche's documentary Violette et Mister B. observes Verdy at work against the backdrop of the Paris Opera Ballet, coaching established and still-blossoming dancers in the works of Balanchine and Jerome Robbins. Highlights include Verdy's coaching of Isabelle Guerin in Dances at a Gathering, Elizabeth Maurin in Emeralds, and Elisabeth Platel and Nicolas Le Riche in In the Night. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
