A Hidden Gem
16 July 2020
Going through a Debbie Reynolds fiimography and I stumbled upon this movie. I thought I had seen the all the best of Astaire. Fred is warm and filled with humanity in this classic. Astaire returns home to reconnect with his daughter, Debbie Reynolds and wife, Lily Palmer. Astaire's Years of the playboy life and world travel are no longer attractive dalliances. Lily Palmer is gorgeous as Astaire's ex. Palmer and Astaire appear to have sparks intact. Reynolds future beau, Tab Hunter In one of his early roles. Astaire was always a rare triple threat. Singing, Dancing and Acting. Astaire really flexes his acting muscles on this one. A once in a lifetime talent.
