Movie Info

By the 1930s, vaudeville is no longer the big seller it used to be. Looking to leave the fading act, Phil Dolan Jr. (Eddie Albert) dreams of composing for the traditional theater. Through a chance meeting with a Russian composer (Leonid Kinskey), Dolan finally has the chance to make the transition, but he must contend with the obstinate ballet director Sergei Alexandrovitch (Alan Hale) to land his big break. It helps that he has prima ballerina Vera Barnova (Zorina) on his side.

But in passing from Broadway to Hollywood, On Your Toes has suffered a see change.

TIME Magazine
The dialogue has wit: Zorina, who played the prima ballerina in London, acts well, looks lovely, and dances beautifully, and the photography of the ballet sequence is really magnificent.

Graham Greene
The Spectator
A pleasant musical featuring the dancer Zorina, one of the most beautiful and most sympathetic members of her craft.
