Since I'm no ballet fan (why spend so much time learning to stand on tippy toe???), maybe I shouldn't judge, but the story just got on my nerves after a time. Loretta Young's usually stellar performance seemed a bit forced to me, as if she weren't sure she should have accepted the part, and the whole plot of older mentor/younger protege with the old guy getting the hots for the young girl just seems too "yuck" to me! Conrad Veldt gave a good performance in that role, however, and Shepherd Strudwick was equally good as the lovesick fool who can't forget her, no matter how many times she rejects him, both for her career and other men.
Really not worth it.
