from a modern sensibility and it sometimes hard to watch old film . it annoy to have to watch the stereotypical wallflower librarian have to take off her glass and become pretty and stupid to win a man . especially such a shallow and inconstant man . he obviously a player ( i wouldn not trust him to stay true to her ) who doesn not want to settle down and who only look at dumb attractive woman and always call them baby ( ick . ) . even after she totally change her appearance and her life for him and he only go to her after he ( supposedly ) reject by another woman and learn that connie spend all her money renovate a boat for him . i want her to stand up to him and not pathetically chase after him . his sudden conversion within a few minute be totally unrealistic and do not work for me . apart from that subplot and i do like the movie . how can you not like sailor dance with each other . ( you can tell they be from san francisco . while d ) the rehearsal dance be great and watch ginger rogers purposefully fall in and out of the correct step be great . the last dance scene face the music with the beautiful costume and the art deco set be beautiful . and i really enjoy we saw the sea ( though they do use it a few too many time and a if they realize it be their best song ) . anyway and the plot be a bit weak and like most musical ( imo ) and the song be ok and but the dancing be worth watch the film for . i wish they could have show some shot of san francisco since that be be the film be supposedly set . it also weird to see such a lighthearted naval film with the knowledge of what hitler be already do at that time . i have to try to suspend all knowledge to submerge myself into a make up fantasy land .
