MARILYN HOTCHKISS' BALLROOM DANCING & CHARM SCHOOL
Randall Miller (USA)
Steve Mills (the voice of William Hurt) remembers 1962 when British Bulldog
was the favourite pastime of schoolboys, when girls were not worth even thinking
about (and actually to like one was 'to be a rat'), and how things changed
when as a lad (Elden Ratliff) he first encountered Marilyn Hotchkiss (Patricia
Fraser) and her famous Ballroom Dancing & Charm School, thus finding
out that little Lisa (Kellie Parker) was not so bad after all. An enchanting
walk - or rather dance - down memory lane. A production of the Center for
Advanced Film and Television Studies at the American Institute.
Transfer from 16mm film.
