1969... CARNIVAL OF SOULS on TV one Saturday afternoon... and ISADORA DUNCAN, THE BIGGEST DANCER IN THE WORLD (the ending scared me so much I tried to get my distracted Mommy's attention when she returned from her trip to England - to no avail).  I wanted to whine, I think.  It took decades for me to learn what that ISADORA DUNCAN movie was called...

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

No, not that one with VANESSA REDGRAVE and that horrible scene.  THE BIGGEST DANCER IN THE WORLD is earlier, was made for BBC television I think by KEN RUSSELL and it must have been shown, probably on a NY public television station, in the late 1960s... 1969 to be exact, the memory is vivid, and that movie's ending is even worse than that one with VANESSA...
