"This is a wonderful song and dance romantic comedy with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. There are wonderful performances throughout the film. The plot surrounds the duo as Josh and Dinah, a married couple who have performed on stage together for many years, and start to become stifled creatively. Dinah wants to have her own career and tries dramatic theater, feeling free away from her husband's control over her career. But are they better together or apart? This is definitely one of Rogers and Astaire's best films, containing some great tap dance numbers, as well as excellent piano performances by Oscar Levant."
