Considered by many to be Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers best collaboration--and that is saying a lot.
The music is by Jerome Kern including "A Fine Romance", "Pick Yourself Up", "Never Gonna Dance" and that year's Oscar winner "The Way You Look Tonight". Plot is about vaudeville dancer trying to earn money to marry his society fiancee but then falling in love with his new dance partner. Astaire dances a tribute to Bill Bojangles Robinson in a loose limbed style that pays homage to Robinson--although done in black face. Great dancing. Fun supporting cast.
