5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic movie, one of Ms. Stapleton finest roles, June 2, 2004
I just saw this movie last night for the first time and I absolutely loved it. I bought the DVD because it seemed like a very good movie with a terrific cast and I couldn't agree more. Maureen Stapleton is excellent in this film and she plays Bea Asher, the recently widowed wife with great warmth and sincerity. She even sings in this movie and she does it very well I think. She is also a wonderful dancer who makes ballroom dancing very interesting to watch and learn. Charles Durning is also great in this fantastic movie and they both have great chemistry together. QUEEN OF THE STARDUST BALLROOM, is a magical film and the acting of both Stapleton and Durning is superb. I couldn't help feeling a little sad in the end (I won't tell you so I won't spoil the movie for you). However this is a wonderful movie and it shows that you're never too old to fall in love and follow your heart. They certainly don't make movies like this anymore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice film to see in family, February 1, 2001
By F. Seitun (Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires Argentina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this film thinking it would be a concert of the rock band queen, of course it wasn't. When I saw it I got very into the story. It is a very intriguing film to enjoy with all the family, buy it you wont regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Maureen Stapleton's finest roles (and she sings), July 10, 2000
By Dennis J. Pauly (Evanston, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a wonderful romance. Stapleton loses her husband and instead of hibernating buys a\ resale shop and begins to go out dancing. She meets Charles Durning, falls in love, dyes her hair and both of them sing. No great shakes as singers but they deliver the songs better than professionals would. Great dance sequences probably filmed at Roseland and 40s singer Martha Tilton sings a song. For incurably romantics this is the best thing you will ever see. I am glad that the DVD is now available because with a quick push of the button you can edit out the final scene if you wish. You can't go wrong with this one. \
