CGiii Comment

A ridiculously stupid opening scene - cuffs on trousers!

The usual Astaire stuff - a story manipulated to involve numerous, nauseous, dance sequences.

The supporting cast is as camp as sissies in sequins - as usual.

Dated, tired, dreadful.

The(ir) Blurb...

Lucky is tricked into missing his wedding to Margaret by the other members of Pop's magic and dance act, and has to make $25000 to be allowed to marry her. He and Pop go to New York where they run into Penny, a dancing instructor. She and Lucky form a successful dance partnership, but romance is blighted (till the end of the film at least!) by his old attachment to Margaret and hers for Ricardo, the band leader who won't play for them to dance together.
