Margaret Streeter '79, a former figure ice skater, said yesterday that she thinks the rollerskating fad is great, although she is concerned about the danger from falling on rough pavement or dodging speeding cars. But she added that because of the energy crunch skating is a great idea: "Instead of getting in your car just put on your skates and roll to the store...
...ultimately successful struggle to regain her sight and skills. Yet the film is kept firmly grounded in plausible, recognizable territory by the realistic detailing in Donald Wrye's direction, the authentic tone of the dialogue and the straightforward work of an excellent cast. Tom Skerritt as the skater's father, reluctant to let her go, and her first coach, Colleen Dewhurst, are particularly good. There is a choice piece of writing for Robby Benson, playing her boyfriend.

He would explain what a skater could technically do, and they proceeded from there, excited by the prospect of a fluidity and motion denied them on an ordinary dance floor. "John is showing that it's possible to do something on ice that's never been done before," is the enthusiastic comment of Bonnefous...
