Astaire and Rogers once again prove their skills on the dance floor, but it's a shame that they don't do so onscreen, together, more frequently.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 1, 2009

Another winner for the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers combo. It's smart, modern, and impressive in every respect, from its boy-loses-girl background to its tunefulness, dancipation, production quality and general high standards.
