For all the juicy backstage stories and remarkable archival footage of early performances, the film still feels blandly affirmative.

While the doc offers us a story that needs to be told, it does so in very non-Joffrey ways.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Dance films like Wim Wenders's innovative, kinetic "Pina" have now set a high barre, and by comparison the traditional talking-head style of this documentary seems primed for showings on public television.

Always informative yet never remotely original. The story gets told, we learn something, class dismissed.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Co-founded in 1956 by visionary teacher Robert Joffrey and dancer Gerald Arpino, The Joffrey Ballet began as a DIY company of six dancers touring the United States in a borrowed station wagon but quickly grew into one of the world's most exciting and prominent ballet companies.
