I can't bear to give an Astaire film anything less than three stars, but this is a very bad movie…

LOVE Burgess Meredith. Goddard is another favorite. Some good clowning here but very second rate…

Fred Astaire's audition for the Artie Shaw band made me laugh tea out of my nose. And Charles Butterworth is always good for my money…
