Yeah, we know Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers are cute together! But do they have to make that the entire point of the movie?! Some enchanting story would have been nice. Even a half-hearted one! And not just a random backdrop with the navy. This is all Astaire & Ginger dancing & singing. Over and over! The tunes are catchy and the dancing, no one is going to criticize Astaire's dancing! EVER! So that part of it was very good, and thankfully it was, because that's all there was to this happy movie.

Bright, entertaining, certainly dated but with some of Irvin Berlin's best numbers and some classic Estaire/Rogers numbers this is well worth watching.
Plot is very weak - to the point of being transparent, but thats not the point of the film - some amazing dance, music and a surprising amount of humour make up for it. - 'Face the music' is a must-see.

The story is weak even by Astaire-Rogers screenplay standards, and Scott and Harriet Hilliard (later of "Ozzie and Harriet") don't contribute much. Only one first-rate Berlin tune: "Let's Face the Music and Dance."

a couple good dance numbers, and only one good song. the plot here is better than some astaire movies, but it's nothing special either. the biggest problem with this one is that astaire and rogers do numerous dance routines where there should have been tap dancing, but wasn't.

A few deviations in the Sandrich formula, some work [Gingers solo], others don't [music numbers without Gingers/Astaire]. The story borders on useless as usual, but this has two of my favorite dance sequences I've yet seen.
