    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Neither D.B. Sweeney nor Moira Kelly knew how to skate before making this movie. After auditioning and convincing the producers they were the right actors for the roles, they spent the next three months intensively learning how to figure skate.
    • Goofs
      It is mentioned in the movie that the Pamchenko is illegal, but the coach makes the comment "eh, legal/illegal..." and shakes his hand to indicate it depends on interpretation. The first component of the Pamchenko - the "bounce spin", where the man grasps the woman by the ankles and spins her around - is a highly illegal move in amateur and Olympic competition and is only performed by professionals and/or in exhibition skating due to the high risk of head injury.
