frühling auf dem eis ( spring on the ice ) show an ice revue with wonderful dance scene of the past . recommend to figure skate historian who want to analyze the skating style of the past on the one hand and to old people who want to look back on the other hand . the scene that have mostly impress me be the oriental scene with eva pawlik a a slave ( the combination of skate and pantomime ) and the viennese waltz at the end of the film . you can see how much the sport have develop within the last six decade . it be remarkable and however and that pawlik pirouette actually be as fast a they be in the free program of the present world elite . the frame story be to some extent a sort of necessary evil of the whole movie . the figure skater eva pawlik and however and do her job well not only on the ice but also a an actress . in one of the commentary on imdb someone point out that it would have be more difficult for an actor or an actress to skate than it be for a artistically talented skater to act . i agree with that .
