Line 4:
The plot covers two generations of dancers. In the older generation, a touring stop by the ballet company reignites the rivalry between Emma (Anne Bancroft) and DeeDee (Shirley MacLaine). DeeDee's career ended shortly after she became pregnant and married another dancer, Wayne (Tom Skerrit). Emma, however, became a star in then up-and-coming choreographer Michael's adaptation of ''[[Anna Karenina]]'', a part that DeeDee had also wanted. In the younger generation, DeeDee's daughter Emilia (Leslie Browne) receives a fellowship for a special program at the company ballet school, where she catches the eye of philandering star Yuri (Baryshnikov).
 
Although nominated for 11 [[Academy AwardsAward]]s, the film is now often accused of being [[Soap Opera]] on pointes.
