STEEL PIER is not about "old" people at a dance competition. Maybe you're mixing it up with Kander & Ebb's 70, GIRLS, 70 which IS about old people(but not at a dance competition). Anyway, is your point that a show about old people(and possibly at a dance competition)had to be a flop?

My poorly made point was that the subject matter and setting are not that exciting and not appealing to a large audience. At least in my limited assessment.

And while I must admit to being slightly disappointed when I saw it, particularly that it was not darker like They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, and the corny supernatural element---it looks more and more like spun gold in retrospect compared to much of what we get today.
