April 26, 2009Excellent old time musical with in particular the dancing of Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse with some of the biggest and most beloved and memorable dance scenes. Oh to have those long long legs like Cyd!

February 22, 2009I love Minnelli! If only the real world had his Technicolor touch.
All-round good story but the Edens songbook is the star. Love the sidekick characters of Oscar Levant and Nanette Fabray. Fashions and styles are exquisite. -
November 4, 2008My favorite dance they do is the one when they are in the park and they find out that a tap dancer and a ballet dancer can dance together.

March 4, 2009Anything With Fred Astaire, or Cyd Charisse, is nothing short of amazing. Gene Kelly is another fantastic dancer. Their dance numbers are just amazing. My favorite was the Girl Hunt scene in the bar.
