Vintage original 27x41 in. US one-sheet poster from the popular 1970's ice skating-themed drama/romance, ICE CASTLES, released in 1978 by Columbia Pictures and directed by Donald Wrye. Alexis Winston (Lynn-Holly Johnson) is a young girl who dreams of becoming a champion figure skater. One night while practicing, Alexis suffers a terrible accident that takes her sight and threatens to destroy her dreams. In the midst of feeling sorry for herself, she falls in love with a handsome young man named Nick (Robbie Benson) who, with help from her family, helps her to realize that she can still fulfill her dreams. The cast also includes Colleen Dewhurst, Tom Skerritt, Jennifer Warren, and David Huffman. Unrestored and folded as originally issued, this vintage original one-sheet is in very fine condition without any pinholes, tears, stains, or other flaws. Ice Castles is perhaps best remembered today for the film's famous theme song written by the legendary Marvin Hamlisch. It marked the feature film debut of ice-skater/actress Lynn-Holly Johnson, who was cast after she was brought to the attention of the filmmakers by "Ice Capades" executive Michael Kirby and ice-skating coach John Nicks. Johnson, who was on tour with the Ice Capades show, flew to Minnesota for a script reading and to perform some ice-skating. Johnson then flew back to the show and a week later flew to Toronto, Canada for a screen-test. She then landed the role and signed on not long after this. She says she was repeatedly pressured to do a nude scene in this film, which she refused to do. She says this incident makes her laugh and say "if you only knew!" whenever someone tells her what a great family film this movie was.
