Ice-Capades is a 1941 American comedy film directed by Joseph Santley and starring James Ellison, Phil Silvers, and Barbara Jo Allen.
[1] The film's sets were designed by the art director John Victor Mackay.
It marked the screen debuts for the ice skaters Belita and Vera Ralston, both of whom went on to star in a number of films at Monogram and Republic respectively.
The scheme backfires when promoter Larry Herman takes a look at Bob's film and decides to make the skater a star.
Unfortunately, it's actually amateur (and illegal immigrant) Marie Bergin in the newsreel footage, not the great figure skater from Switzerland.
