joan fontaine be a damsel in distress in this 1937 musical star fred astaire and george burn and and gracie allen . the plot and what there be of it and be about a british woman ( fontaine ) in love with an american and who be mistake for astaire and a musical comedy star . the film and direct by george stevens and contain some wonderful gershwin music and include nice work if you can get it and a foggy day . the best scene be the stiff upper lip number and which take place in a fun house . astaire sing voice sound more robust in this film than it do in others and and he have a couple of excellent dance number . burn play his over the top publicist and allen be burns secretary . she hilarious . the problem and a others have point out and be fontaine and who have to dance with astaire at the end of the film . stevens could easily have use a double because he show the dance in a long shot and and it take place among the tree . i would have think it be a double except the dancing be so lousy . definitely worth see despite it flaw .
