Comment
Ginger Rogers is having problems committing to marrying Ralph Bellamy so introduces him to psychiatrist Fred Astaire. However complications ensue when Ginger Rogers falls in love with Fred Astaire instead. This has a preditable plot with comparitively few dance numbers, but does have some good humour. This has some of Ginger Rogers best dance routines, including the final duet where Fred Astaire directs her dancing in a trance. It also shows off her acting talents as well.
