IMDb profile

The Cutting Edge is a 1992 romantic comedy film directed by Paul Michael Glaser. The plot is about a spoiled figure skater (played by Moira Kelly) who is paired with a has-been ice hockey player (played by D.B. Sweeney) for Olympic figure skating. They faced off against a Soviet pair in the climax of the film, which was set at the actual site of the 16th Winter Olympic Games, in Albertville, France. The original music score is composed by Patrick Williams.

The film was followed by sequel The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold (2006).

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Kate Moseley is a world-class figure skater training for the Olympics: she has genuine talent, but years of being spoiled by her wealthy family have made her all but impossible to work with. Doug Dorsey is a hockey player with drive, skill, and a full complement of arrogance; his team is also on the fast track to the Olympics. Unfortunately, an eye injury suffered during a game affects Doug's peripheral vision enough to force him to retire from the game. At the same time, Kate's colossal ego scares off yet another skating partner, and her coach, Anton Pamchenko, needs to find a replacement as soon as possible. Desperate to stay in Olympic competition, Doug agrees to try working as Kate's partner, even though he has a hockey player's macho contempt for figure skating. Needless to say, the first few practices between Doug and Kate did not go well, but in time they learn to work together and become a pair to be reckoned with both on and off the ice.
