Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Kirpianuscus It could be one of many romantic films from the period. the lead obstacle are Rita Hayworth, Fred Astaire and, especially,Adolphe Menjou. the last, for me, is the key of a lovely sentimental comedy, his performance as the father looking for the perfect boy for the daughter , the rule of mariage in Latino-American societies and the move from the bitter rich man to the sensitive friend of a not comfortable American dancer are more than good points. sure, the moments Hayworth- Astaire are great. but predictable. the small detail remains, off course, for me, the adorable work of AdolpheMenjou.

richard-1787 If you compare this to the musicals made by Astaire for RKO with Rodgers, you can see how inferior this is.The script is by no means as clever.There are no great comedy roles, such as those done by Edward Everett Horton and Eric Blore in the RKO musicals.The music is not as good.But what this movie does have is a radiant young Rita Hayworth. It's a shame she doesn't get more dance numbers, because she is a wonder to watch when she dances. She is what makes this movie worth sitting through.Trust me, it's worth it.

utgard14 Wealthy nightclub owner Eduardo Acuña (Adolphe Menjou) is worried that his daughter Maria (Rita Hayworth) will never marry because she is too picky about the kind of man she wants. So he sends her love letters and flowers from a fictional admirer, intending to find a man to fill that role later. Maria comes to believe dancer Bob Davis (Fred Astaire) is her admirer and falls for him. But Eduardo doesn't think Bob is good enough for her so he offers him a contract with his nightclub if he can make Maria fall out of love.Wonderful musical romantic comedy with the always delightful Fred Astaire and the stunning Rita Hayworth. She was rarely more gorgeous than she is here. The two had great chemistry and their dance scenes are very nice. The cast is a lot of fun. Menjou is terrific. Xavier Cugat is very funny. Loved Adele Mara and Leslie Brooks as Rita's sisters. They stole every scene they were in. Very charming and lovely movie. A must for fans of Astaire and Hayworth.

jc-osms Light and frothy Fred Astaire musical paired this time with the young and very lovely Rita Hayworth as his unlikely paramour. Amazing that surrounded by a horde of young hunks in their best bib and tuckers rich ingénue Hayworth falls for old hair-receding lantern-jawed Fred, but hey, hooray for Hollywood, go with the flow and accept this pleasant confection for what it is. Adolphe Menjou enters into the spirit of the piece with an endearing turn as Hayworth's crusty papa who of course eventually relents and accepts Fred into the family. The rest of the cast ditter and fritter about pleasantly, in their fine clothes and slight roles in a narrative replete with the customary ups and downs, coincidences and happy ending of every Fred musical ever made. The interior settings are plush befitting Menjou's part as the richest man, it would appear, in the whole of South America and the direction is brisk - I always find myself watching for the cuts in the dancing sequences, cleverly disguised as usual. The music I found a little ho-hum, all moon-in-June rhyming down Dingly Dell, certainly no Hart or Porter - type witticisms present here. Fred is Fred as usual, a little bit hammy, unbelievable, as I've indicated as Hayworth's love interest but great in his dance routines as ever (shame about his singing). Hayworth is best of all, alluring and sophisticated and already hinting here and there at the depths of future parts such as "Gilda" and "The Lady From Shanghai". Here she is captured, however, in her innocent youth, lighting up the screen, dancing well into the bargain opposite the maestro. In summary, not a movie on a par with the Fred and Ginger classics of the 30's but enjoyable on its own terms for all that.
