The movie is full of endearing grace notes. [11 Oct 2009, p.24]
The plot is trivial French farce (about mistaken identities), but the dances are among the wittiest and the most lyrical expressions of American romanticism on the screen.
One of the best examples of Depression-era musicals.
First of the classic Fred and Ginger plots. [03 Nov 2006, p.C5]
Having insured Fred's legs for the equivalent of £200,000, RKO producer Pandro S Berman launched the Astaire-Rogers musicals with this extensive revamp of Cole Porter's famous stage show.
The second outing for Fred and Ginger which cemented their partnership can be irritating in it's romantic machinations but the Astaire flair is always winning.
