    • Quotes

      Robert Gregory: That fella hasn't missed a performance in over a year. I don't think I'll ever get a chance to play the part now. Especially if the immigration department decides I have to leave the country tonight. If I do have to leave, I'll bet Mr. Barrett gets sick tomorrow night.

    • Crazy credits
      Andre Kostelanetz and His Music is credited in the opening set of credits, but not in the comprehensive second set. The IMDb cast ordering therefore uses the first set of credits and fills in the rest with the second set.

    An underrated gem
    This has to be one of the most underrated of Rita's films, yet is up there with the best. A very short runtime of just 69 minutes, it still manages to dish up a delightful 'boy meets girl' tale - when their cabs collide, of course changing both their destinies. A simple little musical, it gives Rita just the one dance, which is not photographed all that well, but shows what will be in years to come. Any Rita fans out there, you will thoroughly enjoy this I guarantee it. I almost didn't buy it when I had the chance due to not being able to find reviews anywhere, so I feel I have to write this to save someone else from passing it up!
