Comment/Synopsis

This is the first film that paired Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, which showed the potential to come even though both have have limited screen time and only one major dance number together. The visual highlight of the film is the scene at the end of the film with the girls "dancing" on the wings of the airplanes.
