It's "The Fred Astaire Show"...without Fred Astaire! Jack wants to reunite Fred and Ginger so he gets her to sign on the dotted line of the contract (in Latin!), but there's a last minute switch because Fred's stuck elsewhere so Jack must step in, waiting to a very funny dance sequence that is both humorous and elegant. Ginger is there a charming here, initially afraid that Jack's going to try to mangle an invitation to her dinner party where she's afraid he'll ruin it by playing the violin. It's obviously dance doubles for some of the steps that they do, and that makes it all the funnier. Between Jack's desperation to find a piece of candy and Rochester's wisecracks and the very gracious participation by Ginger, this is one of the best episodes of the series.
