bruce F @bruce999 6h Some fun dancing, and songs, but the plot seems to not work totally... a businessman, who is very rude, who sends love letters to his daughter, so she thinks there's someone out there. anyway, better than most movies of today, but definitely not as good as most of the movies where Fred and Ginger are in it, Rita is excellent at dancing and singing, but lacks something in humility -i think. but maybe her other movies are better See more Lance L @Lance77 May 21 The joy of dance was never on better display. Ms. Hayworth's delight in the rhythm and beat, the twirling and unfurling, matches the Master's and gives me, at least, a sense of true cameraderie between the two. And that's important. Authentic delight in the other dancer lifts the dance to a a higher plane. Moreover, this isn't superficial. The dance is a metaphor, or if you prefer, an analogue, for the joy expericenced by the three persons of the Holy Trinity. Instinctively, watching this, we sense the joy at the center of the universe and at the moment of creation and we can say with St Julia of Norwich that "all is well and all manner of things are well."

See more william d @acsdoug 05/26/2022 I understand that when you watch a Fred Astaire movie you have to sit theough a second rate story before you get to see Fred dance. This story was particularly insipid, however, and the dance numbers were few and cheaply staged. Rita Hayworth, however, was not just another pretty face. The woman could dance.

The actors clearly wait for their cue to begin their lines. The tap dancing is also poorly dubbed. The movie then quickly progresses into a movie worth watching. Overall it's a cute romance. The title song is probably the worst song in the movie, but all of the others songs are really good. I would recommend this if your a fan of romance.

It all works out in the end though. See more Read all reviews
