- Summary
- COI synopsis: A film about Britain’s amateur ice-dancing champions of the world. Courtney Jones began serious skating at twenty-two, carrying off the British, American and World titles two years later. Doreen Denny joined him after only nine months’ training. The film shows their graceful partnership in competition events and in nightly practice on a London rink; and they are seen in their daily jobs as a dress designer and salesgirl.
