roberta ( 1935 ) be my favorite of the astaire or rogers musical from the 1930 . the plot may be criticize a silly and but then so can the plot of most musical . and i watch a musical for light entertainment and not for serious social commentary . although the astaire or rogers dance be few and they be choice . no flashy ensemble extravaganza that last too long to be enjoy . no unbelievably contrive dance or costume . and irene dunne vocal be delightful to my ear . the soundtrack have not survive the year as clearly a i would like and but the movie a a whole be one that i return to over and over again to watch all the way through and and i can not say that of any other astaire or rogers film . perhaps that be because the entire cast do a job i find enjoyable .
