EDITOR’S NOTE: Legs was on the CBS Late Movie on March 10 and October 6, 1986 and August 8, 1988.

Known as Rockettes in the UK, this was filmed at Radio City Music Hall with the 1982 Rockettes. It played there as a movie before it aired on TV.

Lisa Norwood (Shanna Reed), Terry Riga (Deborah Geffner) and Melissa Rizzo (Maureen Teefy) are three dancers trying to get the one chorus line position open under choreographer Maureen Comly (Gwen Verdon). Sheree North also shows up as a former dancer and John Heard as a love interest.

If you watch TV movies, you recognize director Jerrold Freedman’s (Kansas City Bomber, A Cold Night’s Death) name. He co-wrote the story with Brian Garfield, who wrote the novel that Death Wish is based on, as well as The Stepfather.

Really, the reason to watch are all the dance scenes, some of which seem like space disco numbers. The rest is soap opera, but it’s fine. It’s no All That Jazz, which Deborah Geffner was also in.

I was a pro wrestler for years and people always said, “This isn’t ballet.” Dude. Ballet is way rougher.
