Synopsis In Thin Ice, Olympic skating champion Sonja Henie shows she's not only a "Scandinavian goddess of wind and snow," (New York Times) but a charming, romantic comedienne too. Lili (Henie), skating instructor at a Swiss hotel, has fallen in love with a shy man (Tyrone Power) she skis with each morning. She has no idea he is actually Prince Rudolph and that their affair is front page news around the world. Delighted with all the publicity, the hotel owner showers Lili with gifts and signs her to star in the resort's ice ballet. It seems everyone knows she is about to become a princess - except her. "Beautifully costumed and photographed," (Variety) this entertaining romantic comedy established Henie as a top box-office star. [from Fox Video videotape sleeve, ©1993] |
