Review of The Unfinished Dance

I realize it's not exactly "Red Shoes" (hell, it's not even "Turning Point"), but if you can somehow block out the sentimental and unfunny film debut of Danny Thomas and manage to overlook the crappy acting (but not the lovely dancing) of Karin Booth you won't be too bored. Helping enormously is a fine performance from Cyd Charisse (who bears an eerie resemblance to Tulsi Gabbard) as a shallow, self centered ballerina twit. Indeed, Charisse is so good in this kind of a role I'm kinda surprised she didn't do it more often. And, as usual, Margaret O'Brien is the anti Shirley Temple, which is strictly ok by me. Give it a C plus.
