Plenty of dance scenes and some cool ceiling dancing.

Thinner than even these kinds of films normally are.

Film is charming, amusing, with three standout musical highlights. with the Astaire's gravity defying ceiling dance being the best. Both stars shine, but the supporting cast are not as charismatic. Jane Powell is very attractive and radiant, especially in Technicolor.

The plot is generic and uninteresting for the most part but the movie is saved by one fantastic dance by Fred Astaire. If you somehow didn't know it was coming like me, I won't spoil it for you here.

Absolutely dreadful. These dancing guys were strange, to say the least. A 50 year old man with a 20 year old sister?? Really? I guess that's better than the typical treatment of them falling in love. Usually these tip toe men are dancing perverts on screen: attacking the youngest and best looking teenager they can find. However, Astaire is much better than Gene Kelly, who is self-absorbed and arrogant. Astaire seems to be a decent guy at least. As to the hyped "dancing on the ceiling"...are you kidding? This is another Hollywood trick that anyone could do. No talent required. Why hype this as something great and special? 1951 was not that backward. As to Astaire's choices of clothing, let's all just groan. Like Gene Kelly, he is hopelessly unstylish and ridiculous in attire. Jane Powell is gorgeous and has class and talent. She is the star of this film.

The best musical romance movie ever made!

dancing on the ceiling is a must-watch, even if you eon't like musicals!

This wonderful little Astaire rom-com immediately felt like a cozy blanket that's always been with me. My knowledge is admittedly limited, but it's my favorite of Freddy's films: a familiar but appealing story, quick screwball dialogue ("How could you believe me when I said I love you when you know I've been a liar all my life?), great chemistry between the brother-sister leads, all peppered with randomly colorful and impressively catchy musical numbers. Top-notch, fluffy Hollywood entertainment.

Charles Walters' colorful MGM musical features Astaire's famous dance on the ceiling, but it's really Jane Powell - in her first adult film role - that sparkles, matching Astaire in their numbers together and singing several lovely ballads, including the Oscar-nominated "Too Late Now." Sarah Churchill was Winston's daughter.

Who would not want to see Fred Astaire for his fabulous dance routines and for Peter Lawford and his suave Lady Killer persona....Jane Powell adds the beautiful girl power to the movie and Boom!!! another great musical the likes will never be seen again by audiences in big screen movie houses....how Sad. Luckily will still can see them on our big screen high definition 온라인카지노추천's in the comfort of our homes....

Timeless classic with one of my favourite Fred Astaire dance numbers ever!

Enjoyable Astaire vehicle with a brilliant scene where he dances on all four walls, ceiling and floor of a room in the same uncut shot.

It breezes by with hilarity and entertainment. It features one of Fred's more famous dance sequence, him dancing on the wall and ceiling, is quite a sight to behold. There isn't anything exceptional about this movie other than the dancing and music. And why should there be? You have Fred Astaire and Jane Powell doing what they do best. Although, if there was one exceptional thing about this movie to take from, it's that Fred Astaire can even make a coat hanger a wonderful dancer.

The movie is memorable for its famous ceiling dance and coat hanger dance. In fact, all the musical numbers are great. The love story was just okay and it would have made sense to just make Fred Astaire and Jane Powell's characters lovers instead of siblings. Grade: B+

gets a star 4 dancing on the ceiling

Making Astaire amd Jane Powell brother/sister really drains the dramatic tension out of the film, especially since they do the majority of the dancing together. Winston Chuchill's daughter Sarah is a bore, at least in this. Just a bottom of the barrell musical, not even Fred's dancing on he walls scene can help to save this movie. All of the musical numbers are subpar. and even Astaire's dancing suffers. He also looks older here than he does in later films like The Band Wagon.

Fred Astaire dances on the ceiling -- that's worth three stars alone.

The only downside here is \sarah Churchill !

fred astaire never failed to bring such a good movie :)

The story isn't that interesting, and nothing much really goes on, but the performances are incredible, especially the great Fred Astaire, who is a fantastic spectacle to watch. And Jane Powell is a delight as well.
