definitely one of the lesser of the astaire or rogers musical . it just very poorly plot and pace . it only run a few minute longer than swing time and for example and but it feel a heck of a lot long . this be partly due to the secondary romance between randolph scott and harriet hilliard . scott be rarely ever interest . i like hilliard . she sweet and and i love at least one of her song and but where be you . ( get thee behind me satan and her other number and be a weak leftover from top hat and thankfully cut from that masterpiece ) . follow the fleet would actually be a bad film if not for at least three brilliant dance sequence between astaire and rogers . the dance contest vies for the top spot of any of their number . the dance be just fantastic . i be put all my egg in one basket present the two rehearse a dance that they do not quite have perfect yet . it imperfection make it all the more perfect . and let face the music and dance be easily one of irving berlin best song . so the film be well worth watch for it great moment .
