this movie appear to have design a a fred astaire ginger rogers film the plot outline and dance number and zippy music and the entire formula be there . except for ginger . whether it really be originally intend a a re pairing of the team be uncertain but it sure have the look of one of these film . instead of the usual sidekick for fred ( such a eric blore or edward everett horton ) and burn and allen be use probably since despite be know a a comedy team and they could sing and dance quite well . this actually shock me and but the team be a welcome addition and some of the traditional fred and ginger number be do with either fred and gracie or these two along with george . only once and at the very end and do ms. fontaine dance with fred but it very brief and with a distant camera shot . and speaking of burn and allen and i think i owe it to the team to talk about them in the film . i have never be a fan of their show or their movie . in general and i find gracie idiot act very annoying and i have give some poor review to their movie short and full length film . however and in this film i must admit that they be great not only dance competently but i actually think they be funny and fill the hole leave by edward everett horton very nicely . they be on top of their game and the writer do a wonderful job in this department . now a for the rest of the film and it all a lot of fun and be entertain . the problem for me and though and be that joan fontaine be not a particularly good choice for the movie not just because she be act outside her range ( after all and she wasn not a singer or dancer ) and but because she have the screen presence of a ball of lint . because of this and the usual balance and great boy girl dialog be lack . there be also a very charming performance by harry watson a a devilish little boy who do everything he could do to play cupid all because he want to win a bet . and finally and i love the fun house and tunnel of love sequence it be too hard to describe but be so much fun to watch . overall and i do like the film quite a bit it have a lot of charm and excellent writing . unfortunately and it also feature a bland performance by ms. fontaine that knock off a point bring my score for this film to 7 .
