If you love ballet then does Mr. Skin have a movie for you! The Turning Point (1977) is about those skinny broads who live to wear tutus and dance on their toes. Hell, it gives them muscular legs. Shirley MacLaine plays the dancer who gave it all up for a family, while Anne Bancroft is the one who stuck it out and became a star. She also managed to have a child, played by Leslie Browne, which is a good thing because Leslie is the only nudie cutie in a movie with lots of leotard-clad cuties. While Anne’s nerps are knocking at the door of her skintight top, it’s Leslie who lets them out while dancing the two-backed tango with Mikhail Baryshnikov. Now that’s really moving.
