If Ice-Capades is on your watchlist, here is the complete breakdown — plot, cast, ratings, and where to stream it in HD.

Read on for the full plot overview, the cast and crew, critical reception, and answers to the questions fans ask most.
The premise of Ice-Capades, explained
The narrative of Ice-Capades unfolds like this: Bob Clemens is a cameraman for newsreels. Assigned to shoot the Swiss ice skater Karen Vadja, he arrives too late, so decides to film a woman skating on a different New York rink and pass her off as Karen. The scheme backfires when promoter Larry Herman takes a look at Bob's film and decides to make the skater a star. Unfortunately, it's actually amateur (and illegal immigrant) Marie Bergin in the newsreel footage, not the great figure skater from Switzerland. Chaos ensues as Bob tries to straighten everybody out.
Rather than rushing, the film lets tension build naturally, trusting the audience to keep up. The tagline — "IT'S DAZZLING! a thousand laughs...and thrills...as Hollywood's Gay Blades take to skates to "sleigh" the Blues!" — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.
