It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

About one hour and thirty minutes into "Follow the Fleet", there's a musical sequence that deserves attention: first Fred Astaire plays "I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket" on the piano, then he sings it, then Ginger Rogers sings it, and finally, they dance to it, including some comedic dance moves. It's a virtuoso display of talent that sums up the film. The story is not as important as their virtuosity.The Music by Irving Berlin is one of the film's main assets. It forms the melodic foundation of the film. This is fifth film pairing of Astaire and Rogers and they are wonderful together, to the final dance.Not to be missed by those who like A&R or anyone who enjoys musicals. Fred's vocals, which are underrated I think, shine on some songs that are difficult to sing.

This film epitomises happiness and touches ones heart. I am so grateful these films were created with such wonderful actors who actually had talent. One of the highlights (for me anyway) of this film is Harriet Hilliards "And where are you" rendition. Just sheer beauty. I do not actually have any words to express how this song touched me and many others I am sure.I recommend this film to everyone and to those who are fed up with these non talentless and dire times we live in. Revel in the wonder and magic of what was and of actors and musicians and directors who actually had endless talent. I thank them for leaving us a big piece of joy to enjoy forever.

Fred Astaire and Randolph Scott are sailors on shore leave looking for romance. Astaire's trying to rekindle things with his old dance partner, Ginger Rogers. Scott falls for Ginger's sister, Harriet Hilliard. Fred gets Ginger fired and Randy runs away from marriage-minded Harriat. Looks like Cupid has his work cut out for him.Another great Fred & Ginger musical comedy. They have perfect chemistry, both dancing and acting. Love their banter. They have three wonderful dance numbers -- "Let Yourself Go," "I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket," and "Let's Face the Music and Dance." Randolph Scott is fun, especially in his scenes with Astaire. Film debut of Harriet Hilliard (Nelson) of Ozzie and Harriat fame. She sings "Get Thee Behind Me Satan" and "But Where Are You." She has a lovely voice. Lucille Ball has a small role and Betty Grable has a bit part. Funny, cute musical with excellent dancing and great Irving Berlin songs.

....but it all ends well! Bake (Fred Astaire) and Bilge (Randolph Scott) belong to the US navy. At the end of the film, they don't........Let me start with something that didn't need to happen - the extra story time given to Connie (Harriet Hilliard). The film could have survived with Bake and Sherry (Ginger Rogers) carrying the story. Hilliard is a bit of a soppy, wet fish. And as for Randolph Scott.....my goodness me. How's this for an intro to a girl you like - "Hey, babe..."....what class! The film goes on for a little too long but the songs and dances are all good value.
