Tuesday, December 7 at 10:15am, Turner Classic Movies channel will broadcast Ice Follies of 1939. The film stars Jimmy Stewart and Joan Crawford. Besides brief footage of Stewart and Crawford actually skating, there are also segments featuring skating stars of that era.

I saw the teaser for this movie and it looked great. Where else can you get to see Mommy Dearest on skates? There's more info at this link:

Everyone who contributed a review of this film on the I.M.D.B. gave it a gigantic thumbs down. :disagree: Since I don't have cable, I can't watch it anyway. I wonder if it has ever been released on VHS. I'd rent it, just for the opportunity to see what Messers Shipstad & Johnson actually looked like. :indiff:

I'll watch it and hope they show the Ice Follies credits. I want to know who the stars of the follies were at that time competing professionally with Sonia.
