While vacationing at an English seaside resort, a soon-to-be-divorced woman mistakes a lovestruck song-and-dance man for her paid co-respondent. As usual, the plot's not important when you see these two and hear classics like Cole Porter's Night and Day. Academy Award Nominations: 5, including Best Picture. [More]

    Aimed at cheering up a Depression audience--which it does do with animated song and dance numbers.

    As far as musical comedies go, this one wasn't musical enough.

    Not the best Fred and Ginger film, but not far from it. The 17 minute "Continental" is a stunner.
