Fred e Ginger em seu melhor momento.
| Original Score: 5/5
Another winner for the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers combo. It's smart, modern, and impressive in every respect, from its boy-loses-girl background to its tunefulness, dancipation, production quality and general high standards.
One of the best of the Astaire-Rogers musicals, and one that shouldn't have worked as well as it did.

Tip-top Fred and Ginger delight, which is another way of saying one of the best musicals ever.
