    A decade after their ninth and final film together, Rogers and Astaire were paired together again, thanks to a twist of fate. Although Judy Garland was originally cast to star opposite Fred Astaire, she became ill, and Ginger Rogers was tapped to replace her.

    And as an adde

    ...( read more)d bonus: Geez that Oscar Levant is a monster talent. The man appointed by George Gershwin to interpret his music, Levant proves again his musical and his acting ability.

    For historical purposes, if for nothing else, this Rogers and Astaire tenth and final project together must be seen.

    Josh and Dinah Barkley are a successful (though argumentative) musical-comedy team, yet Dinah chafes as Galatea ...( read more)to her husband's Pygmalion. When serious playwright Jacques Barredout envisions her as a great dramatic actress, Dinah is not hard to persuade.

    A wonderful story which incidentally mirrored the lives of the stars Rogers & Astaire. Some fantastic music.

    i am a huge fan of the Astaire-Rogers movies and liked this one, but did not love it as much as others. It is always a treat to watch Fred and Ginger dance

    Well done, kind of the end of an era since this is their last movie together.

    The last teaming of the best dance team ever assembled. "They Can't take that away from me" is the most romantic scene! I love the way Fred performs this dance/song@!

    Hmm...the plot description makes me really unsure if it is this film I saw on Tv or if it was another with Astaire, but I'm pretty sure about Barkley. Or is it some more fil where Astaire is brother with a beautiful blond? For me the plot is about a famous sibling pair where the ...( read more)sister has a lot of admireres...does someone recucnise it or am I on the complete wrong track here?
