...effortless skating of Guy Owen and Maribel Vinson will probably satisfy ice purists. Stunts purely difficult, but lacking any sort of entertainment value, are kept to a bare minimum. Perhaps the hardest stunt, and certainly the most unsuccessful, is the attempt to dub in music from off-stage while the performers are going through an intricate dance, and apparently a crisis in the plot. There is little original music; most of the songs come from old musical comedies, and are supposed to fit the current situation in the story.

...front on the bandstand, his chunky bulk overlapping a fragile barroom chair, sat Sidney, his shiny golden saxophone in hand. Behind was Lloyd Phillips, grinning at an upright piano with its insides laid bare. A Neolithic-looking fellow named Freddie Moore stared glumly at his drums. Lloyd began patting it out and Freddie picked up the beat. Then old Sidney started. The other members of the trio had sense enough to stay out of Sidney...
