I picked this DVD up because it had an all star cast and it looked fun. I suppose you could say I was a little disappointed with this movie because it didn't meet up to my expectations - they weren't high, either. Alright, I'm a teenager but I love old movies. This one started off pretty boring, slow and stiff but it didn't get any better. At times I didn't understand what was going on and I often found myself wondering, "Why am I still watching this?" I didn't really care about the characters. I couldn't care less about what happened. I didn't even watch the end of this movie. I just could not be bothered.
However, despite that, I really loved Joan Crawford's performance - she really stands out. Greta Garbo was over the top, but it probably would have been weird if she was all "normal" - she IS a prima ballerina. If I got the chance to watch this again, I probably wouldn't. Sorry.
