I saw Isadora at its premier engagement in Los Angeles and it was brilliant and moving with an extraordinary love scene in the nude with Redgrave and James Fox and her line "how beautiful a man's body is". Then on the advise of the critic for the LA Times Charles Champlain, the movie was hacked to pieces, losing not only that scene but the great scene where Isadora, remembering, sets fire to her hair. Over the years I've seen many other cut versions but wonder why someone at Universal doesn't restore all these cuts in a magnificent Blu Ray.
