A Breath of Scandal (1960)
Sophia at her most beautiful, and fun...
This movie has Sophia, at her MOST beautiful, as a princess, playing with love, and generally causing trouble. One of my favorite scenes is her shooting out of the castle, at different targets. one of the most beautiful women ever, in a pretty good role, with fantastic costumes, in Vienna. What more could you want? Good supporting cast, beautiful scenery, and reasonable direction. A nice journey into fantasy land, and, not a bad period piece. The male lead is even pretty good, and, it has Maurice Chevalier, in a very interesting role as assistant to the king/prince. It really gets into the different time frames other people move at, compared to the United States I love this movie.
Save the Last Dance 2 (2006)
Very well done dance movie.
I really enjoyed this movie. Most Hollywood dance movies are very poorly done, simply because they rarely cast anyone with the requisite training to make the dancing sequences enjoyable, believable, or even worth watching. Ballet is not something you can pick up in 6 months of intense training. Prior to watching the movie, I looked up the lead actress, and was delighted to find she actually has had classic dance training. That became very clear, watching her dance. The movie does have a few nice plot twists, as far as the relationships of the key characters. I also enjoyed the portrayal of Julliard.
Excellent movie, if you enjoy dance, and, have danced, or been involved with the world of ballet, or modern dance.
