Famous ballet star Petroff -- otherwise known as Pete Peters from Philadelphia, PA -- would rather tapdance than do grands jetes. And he knows the partner he'd like, too: the lovely nightclub hoofer Linda Keene. But she dashes all hopes of a pas de deux by informing him that she's about to get married and retire from the stage. Then, suddenly, rumors of a romance between the two get splashed on the cover of every newspaper tabloid... and everyone's plans are about to change. [More]

Reviews for Shall We Dance
When viewed today it fares much better critically as a stylish and sophisticated musical comedy from the Art Deco era.
...the plot is what makes this Astaire/Rogers pairing frustrating, the dances slightly undercut by that.
