Plot:

This is the story of an egotistical nightclub dance performer named Raoul, his determination to succeed at all costs, and the only woman in his life who truly matters to him, a dancing partner named Helen. The highlight of the film is a dance performed atop a circular stage to a truncated version of Ravel's "Bolero."
