Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth (who is quite lovely) with band leader Xavier Cugat and Gus Schilling as Adolphe Menjou's put-upon nephew make this a joy to watch. Unable to add item to List. It's skillfully produced and worth lots of laughs, as Astaire falls into a scheme created by grumpy but secretly-having-a-heart-of-gold (of course) Adolph Menjou to get his refrigerated daughter married off. Fabulous movie with Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire, Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2019. I am a bit obsessed with Rita and she is simply gorgeous here. Not only is she a wonderful dancer but I find her charm and beauty utterly irresistible. In these, the later femme fatale of 1940’s cinema, Rita Hayworth, effortlessly holds her own against the brilliant dancer Astaire - just as Ginger Rogers did in the 1930s. (I don’t think anyone has looked better in pictures than Hayworth in the early 40s). They don't make em like they used to. If you are in need of a tonic to restore those long-lost dreams you once had, buy this film (as well as You'll Never Get Rich).

This tap dance, where he moves on top of desks and chairs and even uses an umbrella is just incredible. Five stars for the musical scenes and the dancing stars in this film. Watch Fred Astaire dance with Rita Hayworth to Latin rhythms with Jerome Kern/Johnny Mercer "I'm Old-Fashioned" tune; watch them both tap-dancing to "The Shorty George" number which was more delightful I think than the first dance; and then watch Fred Astaire perform an incredible solo tap dance where he is supposed to audition to a mule-headed impresario who refuses to hire him on account of Astaire's criticism of his daughter. And above all, lots and lots of wonderful dancing. Whenever I want to smile from ear to ear and witness beauty in every dimension, this movie delivers time and time again. My third time seeing this film, it is endlessly watchable. Please try again. Streaming Guide Movies Musical.

For some reason, and in spite of being a Fred Astaire fan since childhood, I only recently saw his two films with Rita Hayworth - this and You'll Never Get Rich. You Were Never Lovelier. She's a graceful, athletic dancer and she is just so exquisitely beautiful. Travelling or based outside United Kingdom? Besides the Astaire-Hayworth duets and Astaire's solo tap dancing, Astaire and Hayworth have their turn singing a melody each, and they are always accompanied by Xavier Cugat's Latin band, which must have been very popular back then in Hollywood.
