    Excellent 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!

    Vincent Minnelli's brilliant musical wth Fred Astaire's most elegant performance. A true classic.

    I 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.

    My 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.

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