here be a movie musical what be a movie musical . forget the story . it be slight at best and involve a he man ( scott ) inherit a designing house in paris . it come complete with assistant ( dunne ) and a phony countess ( rogers ) and a band ( complete with astaire a leader ) which have come to paris with him . why he be travel with the band and or why rogers be get away with the phony royalty bit be never really explain . to be honest and the first half of the movie be totally missable and rather confuse . scott a a love interest . unable to see it . dunne a a singer . hard to take . have say that and then and there be the dancing of astaire and rogers and unmatched by anyone before or since . no wonder tap and ballroom dancing have go somewhat out of vogue . once you see these two perform and everything and everyone else be a letdown . the music of jerome kern be some of the best ever put out for a movie . if youre under 35 and you may never have have the opportunity to listen to smoke get in your eye and i win not dance and the rest . do yourself a favor watch this movie just for the music and dancing . a wag once say that fred astaire look so good in a tuxedo that he rent himself out to them . no one else look so at ease in top hat and tail . the clothes be date and maybe and but you get an idea of what real glamour can be . yard and yard of exotic look material drape over some delicious look model and include a brief glimpse of the redoubtable lucille ball . well worth the time it take to watch .
