Buoyed by Irving Berlin music, this is one of those love stories where the lovers get confused as to who is whom. Astaire sees Rogers and is smitten, but because of his celebrity there is a kind of caution. They battle each other, partially because they don't know each other's intentions and partially because they are confused by the supporting characters. It doesn't matter what the story is. The dancing here is as good as anything you have ever seen. I know there was some tension as Rogers tried to tread her own path as an actress, but what a gift to the world these two were. Their synchronous moves are incredible as they move across the screen. We also forget that Fred Astaire had a really good voice for the popular music of the time.
