"Film version of the ballet, based on the American Ballet Theatre production produced by Lucia Chase and Oliver Smith, as directed by David Blair."
"The Bolshoi Ballet perform Giselle choreographed by Yuri Grigorovich and starring soloists Natalia Bessmertnova and Mikhail Lavrovsky."
"An exciting production with Nureyev paying a nobleman who falls in love with a beautiful peasant girl."
"The Bolshoi Ballet troupe in Yuri Grigorovich's version of the romantic masterpiece Giselle. First performed in 1841, Giselle was an immediate hit. With music by Adolphe Adam and a libretto by Theophile Gautier and Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges, the ballet touches on the great romantic themes. As Giselle, Svetlana Lunkina is simply sensational. Her Albrecht is the iconically noble dancer, Dmitry Gudanov. The cast is perfectly rounded off by Maria Allash as the Queen of the Wilis."

"Excerpts from both acts of the ballet, recorded with a hand-held camera from a loge at stage left. In the first act, much of the action cannot be seen because of the camera's angle ; also, the dancers are occasionally obscured by the heads of other audience members. There is a better view of the second act excerpts, which include Myrtha's variation, the Wilis' ensemble dance, and the entrances of Giselle and Albrecht. The tape also contains ca. 2 min. of footage recorded backstage and in a hotel room."

"Excerpts from a ballet in two acts, danced to music by Adolphe Adam. Compilation of footage filmed at three or more performances. The excerpts, shot from the same camera angle, have been edited into their proper sequence to provide a continuous though not complete picture of the ballet. The film focuses on the principal dancers; for example, Giselle brings forward the two dancers of the peasant pas de deux, but the actual pas de deux was not filmed. The camera is occasionally unstable, and some segments of Act II are grainy."
