Although overall I enjoyed this movie, once again, Hallmark sacrifices reality for inclusivity. The movie takes place in 1958.
Over all, most of the acting was pretty good. I thought the lead actress is quite talented. As usual, the movie is pretty people wearing pretty clothes, and going to pretty places.
My biggest quibble is that one of the Rockettes is a Black woman who says she has been with the troupe for 10 years. The first African-American Rockette wasn't actually hired until 1988. I realize Hallmark is not the History Channel, but they are trying too hard to "be all things to all people".

Love Jessy Schram, but there is no chemistry between her and Marshall Williams.
This is typical Hallmark Fare. I love Italia Ricci, but as another review mentioned, there was no chemistry between her and Peter Porte. One of my ongoing complaints about Hallmark movies is about using actors who can't maintain there accent consistently.
Also, Italia throws her coin into
the Fountain of The Four Rivers (Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi) not the Trevi Fountain!
