TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The youthful members of cast worked with the real Pierre Dulaine to get their dance moves correct for the movie.

Originally, Antonio Banderas turned down the part of Pierre when he looked at the script and realized the whole film was about ballroom dancing. The producers begged him for a few minutes for them to explain the story. After hearing this, viewing a documentary on and meeting the real Pierre Dulaine, Banderas signed on.

Dante Basco played high school boy Ramos when he was 31 years old.

Antonio Banderas and Laura Benanti, who appear in this film together, were previously on Broadway together in the 2003 revival of the musical "Nine". Banderas received a Tony Award nomination for his role in that production.

The cartoon playing on the television is Terrytoons' 1944 short "Wolf! Wolf!" starring Mighty Mouse, which is in the public domain.

Popular Dialogues

"Pierre Dulaine: To do something, anything, is hard. It's much easier to blame your father, your mother, the environment, the government, the lack of money, but even if you find a place to assign the blame,it doesn't make the problems go away."

"Pierre Dulaine: If she allows me to lead she trusts me, but more than that she's trusting herself. Now if your 16-year-old daughter is strong and trusts herself. How likely is she to let some idiot knock her up? And if your son can learn to touch a girl with respect, how will he treat women throughout his life?"
