Tad Spencer (Adolphe Menjou) is an American theatrical manager traveling in the Swiss Alps with a troupe of performers when he discovers ice skater Gretchen Muller (Sonja Henie). Convinced she would make them all rich with her routines, Tad is determined to make her a part of his lineup. However, Gretchen would lose her Olympics eligibility if she receives any money for ice skating -- but that doesn't stop Tad. Meanwhile, reporter Bob Harris (Don Ameche) is keeping tabs on the situation.

Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine Miss Henie looks charming, acts acceptably and skates magnificently. Adolphe Menjou, the Ritz Brothers, Don Ameche and plenty of others assist. But it's Sonja Henie's picture. Sep 25, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D There isn't a lot to it but it is a blast to see Sonja Henie Skate, and the supporting cast is fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Henie's feature film debut has everything a new movie star could ask for: pleasant songs, a good supporting cast, and several ice skating sequences. It just needs a better plot... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
