American choreographer Agnes de Mille (1909-93) is best-known for her cowboy ballet Rodeo and her choreography for the original Broadway show and film of Oklahoma. A profile, made when this grand old lady of dance was in her seventies, shows her still energetically rehearsing Rodeo with American Ballet Theatre dancers. She talks in interview about her life and influences and her earlier career is illustrated with archive film.
