• This was the last movie Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers made together in the 1930's and they would only make one more in 1949. This is easily one of the lessor efforts and it's easy to see why they only made one more after this one. For a musical there are hardly any song and dance numbers compared to their other films and there isn't too much comedy in here compared to other films like Carefree. The movie starts out in 1911 with Astaire playing a low ranking comedian who in the skits basically gets beat up. Astaire meets Rogers and Walter Brennan is her servant and they wind up getting married. They try to get hired as dancing partners but no one will take them until Edna May Oliver gets them a spot at a top restaurant. Then World War I starts and it's hard to see Fred Astaire was a war hero but this movie has him as one. This isn't one of their best and you should watch one of their other ones first.
