- Synopsis:
- Fred Astaire dances through magical musical numbers and teams with George Burns and Gracie Allen in a star turn; this is the creation of a tour-de-force of comedy and laughter. Graced by the beauty of the legendary Joan Fontaine, playing Lady Alyce Marshmorton the owner of Tottney Castle who finds herself in a romantic dilemma. This film is an interesting slice of 1930' s cinema history and an exemplary light comedy of the period. Reginald Gardner and Montagu Love compliment the cast adding grace, style and a sophisticated atmosphere. All this is done in the devil-may-care madcap style of the louche' world of the thirties.
