Probably the best Astaire-Rogers musical. The talent of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers is here combined with a script that is quite amusing and certainly above-average for their movies. But the highlight is the score which includes definitive versions of A Fine Romance, Pick Yourself Up, Never Gonna Dance, Bojangles Of Harlem and the Oscar-winning masterpiece, The Way You Look Tonight. Hermes Pan picked up an Oscar nomination for his dance direction of Bojangles.
