    Astaire! A fabulous musical that doesn't drag with long musical numbers. "Dancing In the Dark" sequence was so beautiful.

    Cyd Charisse is the star of this movie. She has wonderful moves and is quite steamy. There are some great scenes, particularly like the gangster skit and even the TwoFaced woman skit which was cut from the movie and in the special features. The supports are energetic enough and the story is fairly good about a play that is thrown together a bit too shoddily but, when done right, is more paletable to the audience.

    Funnier than Singin' in the Rain and has a secret weapon in the form of Jack Buchanan, a one-man entertainment machine. Brilliantly choreographed by Michael Kidd, especially when Astaire and Charisse perform "Dancing in the Dark."

    A little bumpy along the way but when Astaire and Charisse are opposite each other, I swear that must be magic in the air. "Dancing In The Dark" is probably the most romantic dance number ever put to film. Also, look for "Triplets" where Astaire, Fabray and Buchanan play baby toddlers; one of the scariest things you'll ever see.

    Fred Astaire as the "washed up" song-and-dance man. Charisse is wooden but unobjectable as the love interest. Fred Astaire does some great numbers, and Jack Buchanan is nothing less than hilarious as the director-on-the-fritz.

    Probably my most favorite Fred Astaire movie that didn't have his famous partner, Ginger Rogers, in it. Favorite song: The Triplets
