Shep plays the part of Frank, the older Dance instructor. "In this romantic drama, a plain, lonely secretary wins three dance lessons. Her handsome instructor tells her that she is quite talented and cons her into signing a long-term contract. She soon finds herself in love with him, and an affair begins. The normally cold-hearted instructor is surprised when he finds himself genuinely returning her affections. Trouble ensues when she dances with another instructor who gives her exactly the same sales pitch." Source: IMDB - Written by Jim Sadur

Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
