Released in 1983, Legs is a drama, romance and tv movie film directed by Jerrold Freedman, running about 120 minutes. “Life in the High-Kicking Rockettes” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Three hopefuls -- Shanna Reed, Deborah Geffner and Maureen Teefy -- each wants to be a Radio City Music Hall Rockette, vying for the one open spot the hall's choreographer, Gwen Verdon (in her TV-movie debut), has to fill. Sheree North plays Geffner's ex-Rockette mother and John Heard is a magazine reporter who falls for each of the aspiring dancers. The film was shot partially at Radio City Music Hall and was given a single public showing there several nights before its television premiere.
Who’s in it. Legs stars John Heard as Dan, Eileen Collins as Barbara, David Marshall Grant as Sid and Deborah Geffner as Terry, among others.
