Summary: A Classic
Comment: This movie is now 68 years old.
The last dance sequence with Fred Astaire and
Eleanor Powell would probably be one of the
greatest dances of all time.
Even Frank Sinatra in "That's Entertainment"
said "you will never see the likes of this
again"
Watch it again and again and I'm sure
you'll agree.

Comment: I had forgotten what an amazing dancer Eleanor Powell was...she keeps up almost step for step with Astaire. This is a good old fashioned musical as we all remember them. Somewhat skimpy plot, but the music and dancing are superb.
Very good overall, can recommend ....... great escape !!!!!!

Summary: Wow
Comment: I discovered this movie while re-visiting "That's Entertainment" recently. While I'm a fan of all things Astaire, and have compiled a video library of movies with other leading ladies, this had missed my radar. SO glad to have found it!
While like most Astaire musicals it's not a complex or demanding plot, the music is amazing, and as Frank Sinatra says in That's Entertainment: "You can wait around and hope, but you'll never see dancing like this again." He was right. The tap routines will make you want to take lessons, and if you're not smiling by the end, something's definitely wrong. My friends who are dancers wish they could do this.

Comment: While the story line is typical for this type of movie, the dance routine at the end is absolutely worth the purchase price. For that alone, we give it four stars.
