Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIrene Castle criticized the casting of white actor Walter Brennan to portray her life-long companion and manservant Walter Ash, who was black. She also noted that she and Vernon Castle always toured with a black orchestra, James Reese Europe's Society Orchestra, not a white band. Studio executives overruled Castle's protests in order for the film to play in theaters throughout the southern United States. Due to the film's factual errors and conservative depiction of the era, Castle disowned the film.
- GoofsWalter, the Footes' and later the Castles' servant / factotum was, in reality, a black man.
- Quotes
Irene Castle: I thought you could be a first dancer, a very beautiful first dancer because you are a beautiful dancer but you're so smug and conceited that you can't see any further than your funny nose!

Nice, Underrated Astaire-Rogers Musical
Here's one of those rare films that I like where there are no villains, just a nice, old-fashioned story with good people.
Of all the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers films, I would guess this gets the least amount of publicity and if that's true, it's a shame.
There are plenty of dance scenes in here. I prefer the tap dancing to ballroom, but that's just my personal tastes. The famous dancing duo are great with any style. I like Walter Brennan, so it's nice to see him in this film and it also was nice to see Edna May Oliver play a nice character, for a change.
The only complaint was the ending was so predictable. You see it coming a mile away. How true this story is, I can't say, but overall it's one of my favorite Astaire-Rogers movies. I am sorry it gets so little attention.
