Elena de la Torre Cine-Mundial The movie has beautiful musical numbers and Sonja Henie demonstrates once again her exceptional skating abilities. [Full Review in Spanish] Sep 19, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews An upbeat escapist wartime romantic/comedy musical that skates along thin ice and relies on the pixie charm and skating turns by Sonja Henie to stay upright.

Steve D Perhaps its stars worst. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Stale plot only comes alive when the cast is singing (or skating); one good song, "There Will Never Be Another You." Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
