Thereafter, as Bernstein puts it, "Redford got on the script in a concentrated way." He squeezed a couple more revisions out of the miffed Goldman, who was eager to get on with adapting his Marathon Man novel for the screen. Yet another writer was brought in for a polish...
There is more work to be done off the ice. With a hand from her parents, Dorothy has selected her music (schmaltzy but stirring themes from old Errol Flynn movies) for the free-skating program.

Flynn and Niven maintain a collective stiff upper lip as they repeatedly tangle with the Boche. Plenty of dogfights...
...hurt by the recurrent criticism that Errol has exploited her. "The other day," she says, "he came to me and gave me his share of the deal." When she got film offers, it was Errol who cautioned her to wait until she was ready. She plans to take acting lessons in preparation for a movie career, but first she and Errol are honeymooning in Europe and South America. Marriage may come later-or next week.
