Anyone who doesn't think a short, fat man can be sexy should see this movie. The story, a perfect pairing of Maureen Stapleton and Charles Durning absolutely draws you in. The ballroom scenes, quirky characters and a totally charming love story. The one drawback is an abrupt, senseless ending. So skip the ending and enjoy Charles Durning's seductive dancing with Maureen. If you are like me you will want to learn more about his amazing life, humble beginnings, World War II hero, ending with a prolific mid life movie career.
