Trivia:
In her 1991 autobiography, "Ginger: My Story," Miss Rogers related that the entire film originally was planned for Technicolor. However, other sources, including Arlene Croce's "The Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers Book," a lauded study published in 1972, maintained that just one Irving Berlin song, "I Used to Be Color Blind," would have bust into Technicolor during the dance. Miss Croce explained that color tests were shot, but their quality was poor, so the scheme was dropped. moreQuotes:

This film was very amusing. In my opinion, it is the best Ginger Rogers/Fred Astaire film out of the 8 total they made. The hypnosis scenes are especially hilarious when the people around them don't know that they are under hypnosis. Emotions play a big role near the end of the movie, and Astaire's expressions tell a lot about him. Ginger Rogers does a great job of playing her role. Even as a black and white film, the set is very real and nothing is less than great. I would recommend this film to anyone. This is definitely one of the best classic movies available. The ideas in this movies are clean fun, and would make a great family film.
