The Smoke and Ice Follies
The Smoke and Ice Follies follows a hilariously desperate family of competitive figure skaters as they scramble to land perfect pairs partners. Tenny, the only non-skater in the family, falls hard for Philmore, a tormented tobacco heir who may or may not be the right match. An uplifting romantic comedy with a dizzying array of spins, loops, twists, falls and triumphs.
