Okay this is being posted very late, but I still remember the movie (I
think). I loved the manager, his ability to bring order to the chaos
and immediately see the value in people. He was able to see the worth
in the composer and that the dancer was as capable as she was. His
devotion, he called it his religion, to ballet was more then a bit
unbelievable but served fine for the movie. As for the two main
characters, they served their purpose but didn't do anything for me. I
also really enjoyed the beginning where we see just how crazy a
production is. Overall a good movie, a classic, but was overshadowed
in my mind by other movies we have watched.
