Invitation à la danse!

James Ellison (Jerry) is completely unlikable and runs the entertainment at a holiday resort. His top dancing team have split up and Ellison needs a female dancer to partner Maurice St. Clair (Manuelo) and he needs one fast. Cue Belita. She is pushed into the limelight and then pretty much walks away with the film as she proves talented at everything! There is some stupid unconvincing love story that plays alongside the performances but it is not the real point of the film.

We get to see Belita perform ballroom dancing with some swing rhythms, some ballet with a cheeky tinge, some tap dancing on skates, as well as her solo skating efforts, all of which are entertaining. This is what you watch for. The film also includes a couple of comedy skating segments with Frick and Frack who are also good value. Outside of these performances, the film is crap because of the incredibly poor acting skills of Ellison. It's actually upsetting that Belita falls for him.

The film's storyline isn't much but if you like ice skating and dance sequences then you'll enjoy this offering. Belita saves it single-handedly.
