1 of the best classics eva! Ive grown up watching it n still love every second now, wow how id luv 2 dance with patric s that way! Id of kept making a few mistakes just 2 a lift or close dance again! N being a dancer all threw my youth I always wished id dance like that as how much fun it looks n the dancers show id join a dance class now if they had them teaching that! Its a shame men dont dance with women hardly but yet go bk threw time and thats wot was enjoyed n looked forward 2 n brought couples close

Robbie Gould played by Max Cantor was murdered in real life, shortly after staring in this. He did some acting work, but stayed mainly in journalism. His supposed death of a drugs overdose was a cover up by a drug gang lord, who Max was trying to expose! Fascinating true life story that deserves a film made about. RIP Max.

Have watched this so many times tat i no all the songs & have done quizzes on line about the film & got all right it's the sort of film that is worth watching if you never see another film again
