    Cute musical, nothing really outstanding about it though. Slightly above average. Leslie Caron is well cast, some great musical numbers and some rather bland ones as well.

    A good film. A nice musical, with some good numbers, one of the better Astaire films.

    I like Fred Astaire and this is an okay film. The Characters should have been cast differently and perhaps the film would have made more sense
