I do think I enjoyed the characters more than the dancing in this movie---no MM for me, thanks.
Here is a paraphrased conversation from the end of movie between Flo Ownes and Helen Potts after Novak ran after Holden:
Flo Owens: Oh there is SO much I wanted to teach her.....
Helen Potts: Let her find out on her own, Flo........
One can almost imagine three (maybe four) stages of women with men (boys) in a midwestern town:
Susan Strasberg - emerging but not yet interested in boys.
Kim Novak - emerged but not yet realized relationship with men.
Rosalind Russell - Needing not to be an old spinster schoolteacher and more.
Verna Felton - Too late.........
