This is film of Marguerite Porter and Mark Silver rehearsing 'Daphnis and Chloe' with Michael Somes, the original Daphnis when Sir Frederick Ashton created the ballet in 1951.
At the beginning footage, Marguerite Porter talks to camera about how she deals with injury. This chat gives some sense of the ballerina as a person, which is nice.
I was at a gala at Covent Garden for the retirement of Sir Fred and unexpectedly Dame Margot Fonteyn and Michael Somes danced a little bit of this ballet - it brought the house down and drew tears from everyone present, including your truly!
Enjoy!
