The dodgy print may have had something to do with my lacklustre reaction to this piece of cheese. I've seen Sonja Henie in other Fox movies notably Sun Valley Serenade where she has 1) been surrounded by top-drawer actors, musicians and 2) benefited from an equally top-drawer score (in this case by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon) which have combined to set off her undoubted talents as an ice skater, albeit both limited and - after the first time - repetitive if not actually boring. This time around Fox stalwarts Don Ameche and Cesar Romero turn in their usual No 1 game but the mediocre score only highlights the lack of class/style on hand. Just about watchable.
