Movie Info
Sailors "Bake" Baker (Fred Astaire) and "Bilge" (Randolph Scott) have just docked in San Francisco. For Bake, the goal is to get back together with his former flame and onetime dance partner, Sherry (Ginger Rogers). When Bilge meets Sherry's sister, Connie (Harriet Hilliard), he, too, has romance in mind. But things do not go as planned for the couples, as Bake's shaky unemployment history threatens his chances with Sherry and Bilge's fear of commitment endangers his future with Connie.

Oct 03, 2010A cute and honest musical with some great turns by newcomers at the time Betty Grable, Harriet Hilliard, and Randolph Scott. A stale plot and only slightly entertaining music, but all the hilarity and charm that the grand old duo bring to the silver screen. Another nice classic.

May 10, 2007In 1936, they must have thought longer was better. I tried to watch this because it is rated pretty well, but it drags.
