Dancing by Fred and Ginger, Songs by George and Ira..., 28 December 2003
9/10
Author: Stephen Alfieri (stevealfie@verizon.net) from Blauvelt, NY

What a wonderful time I had watching this film. One of the better Rogers and Astaire teamings. A great score by the Gershwin's. Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore offer hilarious supporting work.

I'd write more, but I'm going to go back and watch it again.
