Tap Summary
MPAA Rating: PG13
Director: Nick Castle, Jr.
Genres: Drama, Musical
Rating:
Gregory_Hines plays the ex-convict son of a famed tap-dancer. Taking over his late father's Harlem dance studio, Hines can't shake memories of his childhood, when he was being touted as a dancing prodigy. Challenged to fulfill his destiny by his dad's old cronies--among them such terpsichorean giants as Sammy_Davis_Jr., Steve_Condos, Jimmy_Slyde and Harold_Nicholas--Hines does his best to avoid lapsing back into a life of crime. The struggle to save Hines' soul is a titanic one, with Hines' girlfriend Suzzanne_Douglas tugging at him from one direction and his old burglary partner Joe_Morton yanking from the other. The plotline of Tap is merely an excuse to show off some of the most dazzling footwork ever recorded on film. The director is Nick_Castle_Jr., who like star Gregory_Hines is scion of a legendary dancing family. Hal Erickson, Rovi
