On September 14, 1927, at age 50, Isadora was killed in an open sports car when her scarf was entangled in the spokes of the rear wheel. As no films or notation of Isadora’s dances were made until long after her death in 1927, Duncan’s choreography has been preserved through the teaching of one generation of Duncan dancers to the next.

Ken Russell tackles the life of Isadora Duncan in an hour long BBC biopic with far more energy and style than the long, big budget Vanessa Redgrave film that came two years later. Vivian Pickles plays the dancer like a firebrand, exuberant and savage, matching Russell's own energetic camerawork and editing.
The drama ends with a fantasy sequence showing Isadora dancing through an open field with hundreds of little girls. (This is a syndicated version of the program that originally aired on Sept. 22, 1966, as part of BBC's "Omnibus" series under the title "Isadora: The Biggest Dancer in the World.") Details.
