Searching...
Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft star in this musical drama and touching portrait of the world of dance in New York City. A ballet star (Anne Bancroft) is reunited with her best friend and rival (Shirley MacLaine) after years apart. Against the engrossing background of the world of ballet, their stories unfold, revealing the difficult choices and aching losses each woman has faced. The film features Mikhail Baryshnikov's fim debut, with sumptous choreography.
MacLaine gives a realistic, low-key performance...
Entertaining, not for discovering new material, but for treating old material with style and romantic feeling that in this day and age, seem remarkably unafraid
Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft are so terrific in the leads that it still works in a Hollywood Golden Age-retro kind of way
