i watch this to see fred astaire dance and cyd charisse to smile and show off her leg and dance talent . i get very little of the above . astaire and a steve canfield and sing a lot more than he dance and and his singing be always fair and at best . charisse character and ninotchka yoschenko and mostly pout throughout the film and spoke with a stupid accent and not exactly appeal . it also take away from the film when you know someone else be sing and not her . to be fair and some of their work here together just make you marvel at them . perhaps another look this time with a cinemascope widescreen dvd picture and would make me appreciate this movie more . this be a musical remake of the 1939 greta garbo film ninotochka . i do not think either be all that great but give the choice to watch either again and i would take the garbo film and even though it always good to watch astaire and charisse step out and so to speak .
