[HPFGU-Movie] Ballet Shoes

[Valerie Flowe]

Thanks for the review!
When you said you liked 'Griffiths', the dark-haired cabaret dancer, 
for a moment I thought you were referring to 'Richard Griffiths', LOL!
Not sure if/when we in the U.S. will get to see this film. May have to 
order it on Amazon.
Thanks also for the heads up, Steve, on the upcoming My Boy Jack.
