In this irresistible musical, the legendary dancing duo is at the pinnacle of their art as a feckless gambler and the shrewd dancing instructor in whom he more than meets his match. Director George Stevens laces their romance with humor and clears the floor for the movieās showstopping dance scenes, in which they take seemingly effortless flight in a virtuosic fusion of ballroom and tap styles.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Not a classic for me submitted by brooksza on July 25, 2022, 3:56pm Good songs and dance. And I can see how this is a classic that influenced movies to come. But I was pretty bored by the story and found many of the characters kinda annoying.
