i love this movie because it show austria´s figure skate queen eva pawlik . i remember to have see her in the programme of the vienna ice revue in brussels in 1961 when i be 5 year old . i dream the dream of be such a great show star by myself . in frühling auf dem eis i saw her again when i be about twenty year old in a retrospective on tv . although her skating style may look a bit old fashion to u now she be still a strong personality on the ice and also a an actress in the frame story . it be worth mention that she be a an actress not bad than the real actor . it would have be impossible the other way round for actor can not learn how to skate within a few week . besides and frühling auf dem eis be one of the few movie in the history of film in which an internationally successful skater ( pawlik be runner up at the 1948 olympics ) play the main role in a movie . i can only remember the legendary sonja henie from norway who do so and the german couple marika kilius and han juergen bäumler . even the great kati witt only play a main role on the ice and not in the frame story of a movie .
