Customer Reviews

Loses something over the years

Don Hews (Fred Astaire), a song and dance man gets a new contract, he finds out he is being jilted by the girl he had an understanding with Nadine Hale (Ann Miller); she decides to go off on her own with a different contract and more than willing to also go with their mutual friend Johnny Harlow (Peter Lawford). To replace his dance partner and save face, Don finds a quick replacement, Hannah Brown (Judy Garland), from his local bar. Can she fill the bill, and does Don know what he wants? Many (17) of Irving Berlin's songs. Lots of tap dancing. I cannot tell you of all the years I enjoyed this and similar movies. As with many things, you cannot go home again. Now I see the mechanics and the mismatch of characters to the story. Now the film takes effort to get through. They seem to be straining to stay in the formula as the story was originally designed for Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse, not much too old Fred Astaire and too young Judy Garland. One redeeming thing about the Special edition DVD is that the voiceover commentary by Astaire’s daughter gave the film meaning and made it easier to watch.
