Quotes:
Dottie:
I just... always thought I'd get married. You know, someone to share the little things with... It surprises me that it never happened.
Rita:
Oh God, Dot. We were so naive. I thought if I could dance and marry Tony, everything would be happy ever after. And now Ramona's always mad at me, my Ma's always mad at me. And Tony. We've got this last chance and Tony's lost heart - Oh my God, I never said that. He thinks we can win, I'm sure of it...

Charming, well-written movie with good character development. Off the beaten path, and I agree with many posters here who say that they found themselves thinking about the film long after seeing it.
The usual major-development-per-minute mainstream mindset for people with no attention span is nowhere in evidence here. A very interesting story - It's not built to a formula. I just had no recollection of having seen this all before when I was watching it, and that's so rare now in the movie-as-formula age.
Wonderful performances by some really wonderful actors - Frank Gorshin especially was so good, as were Jill Eikenberry and the hilarious Cloris Leachman.
It's good to see this movie doing well, and being picked up by distributors.
