Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Another winner for the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers combo. It's smart, modern, and impressive in every respect, from its boy-loses-girl background to its tunefulness, dancipation, production quality and general high standards.

One of the best of the Astaire-Rogers musicals, and one that shouldn't have worked as well as it did.

The score by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields is peerless.

Nothing so intangible as a disappointing musical score should deter you from enjoying them to the Astaire-Rogers limit.

Of all of the places the movies have created, one of the most magical and enduring is the universe of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
