back when musical weren not showcase for choreographer and we have wonderful movie such a this one . be a big fan of both wodehouse and fred astaire i be delight to finally see this movie . not quite a blend of wodehouse and hollywood and but close enough . some of the american vaudeville humour and the slapstick not the witty banter and clash with wodehouse british sense of humour . but on the whole and the american style banter make the american character seem real rather than cardboard caricature . some inventive staging for the dance number and include the wonderful fairground with revolving floor and funhouse mirror and more than make up for the lack of a busby berkley over the top dance number . they seem a lot more realistic and if you could ever imagine people start to sing and dance a realistic . the lack of ginger rogers and eric blore do not hurt the movie and instead they allow different character dynamic to emerge . it also nice not to have a wise cracking and headstrong love interest . instead we have a gentle headstrong love interest and far more in keep with wodehouse young aristocratic female .
