Ice OK

Very short movie,which might interest Rita Hayworth's fans ,although do not expect the sex symbol of "Gilda";she is cast as a nice pretty wise girl,the coach' s daughter ,an occasional journalist in love with the new member of the hockey team;the plot deals with the (accidental?)death of a loyal player :his brother ,in order to investigate ,joins the team under a French pseudo "Moreau";the plot features blackmail ,rigged games,hostage-taking ,business as usual ;but the games are well filmed and the screenplay well constructed .One may think that the final verdict is a little hard on the alcoholic player ,who is not really evil,victim of his vice (or is it because of remorse he went to the booze?)

Anecdotes
From "Weekly Variety": "Film features Charles Quigley on top, but sharing with Rita Hayworth, who broke in recently with a small dancing role in one of his pictures. Brunette is a looker and talks the role well; we will probably see her more often in the Columbia prints of the future."
