I was enjoying the movie until the Rockettes were portrayed as a diverse group of women with opportunities for advancement and acceptance in the 1950s.
This is absolutely false. As stated in the Trivia section, the first Black woman (Jennifer Jones) to dance with the Rockettes was in 1987 and then only part-time.
Since Hallmark chose to write a historical piece about the Rockettes, They should stick to accurate history rather than a fictional version.
It is ridiculous to rewrite history even though the Hallmark version was more palatable. None of the reviews I have seen online mention anything other than it was wonderful to see the diversity on the screen.
It would be wonderful if it was true.
