Thin Ice (1937)
Director: Sidney Lanfield
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A three-power Ruritanian summit convenes at an Alpine hotel and Prince Rudolph (Power) falls for skating instructor Lilly Heiser (Henie). Joan Davis, a daffy, slip-sliding orchestra singer ('My Swiss Hilly Billy', 'Olga from the Volga'), and Arthur Treacher, the Prince's camp butler Nottingham, take one's mind off the romantic cottonwool, while Sonja Henie still skates with the captivating elegance which made her a star at Fox for a brief period before the war.Author: JPy
